McCarthy outdoes himself. Again.

Just now, in his remarks on the proposed removal of confederate statues from the capitol, Kevin McCarthy verbally dropped his drawers and mooned the House, all while claiming to support the legislation.

Lincoln was a Republican and many in the south at that time were Democrats.

So Kevin, we know this already.

We still want the damned Confederate monuments removed.

Kay?

They completely erase the historical context and everything that happened since the 1964 Civil Rights Act to try to pretend somehow that it's the (current) Democratic Party that are the real racists, not the Republicans, despite all of the (current) evidence to the contrary. Republicans never seem to care to wonder why, if the Democrats are supposedly so racist, why almost no African-Americans outside Diamond & Silk will bother to vote for *them*.

Why haven't the Republicans removed them before now? Because while the party labels have changed (and have for more than 60 years), the racists are still racist.

Eh. I got nothing. They've been fighting for preserving artifacts of the Confederacy for decades as a means of preserving "Southern culture"
