when a progressive asks about the 1964 Civil Rights act ask them how they would have voted on the Gulf of Tonkin resolution.

Oh great...

Oh WOW that article is fraudulent. We know Ron didn't say that about Jim Crow laws. Of course he would have voted to repeal them! He is being viciously misquoted and this should be front page right away.

On further listening, Ron does say what they wrote he did but it's obviously just a grammar flub. He makes statements directly contradictory to "support for Jim Crow laws" before & after. What a cheap propaganda article.

I'm sorry, I'm reading through the comments and it's just plain frustrating. Why do all these libtards always assume the South is racist? I keep seeing comments like, "If the CRA is repealed, the south will do blah blah blah." As if there's no racism outside of the south.
