I am sure the msm will be showing this over and over ad nauseam and all the while painting all the democrats as racist.

He’s a southern democrat, so it is a part of his heritage.

He was for it before he was against it. That seems to be a thing with dhimmicrats.

Back in 1993 Harry “Dingy” Reid was getting ready to present a bill in Congress banning “anchor baby citizenship”, going as far as calling it “insane”.
Then his fellow Democrats brought to His attention that the parents of these “anchors” we’re voting Democrat by 8-2.
So he dropped the bill and started calling anyone who said anchor baby citizenship was crazy a “racist”.
Democrats are fickle pickles.

The heritage or the thought of a descendant of R.E.Lee being accused of being an actual communist—Hillary in circus pants—would make MLK proud.

Dees represented a KKK member but then realized that gig was drying up. If the money had continued to be there defending Klan members, he may not have had his “epiphany.”

The SPLC is worth millions and millions. His switch proved profitable.
