Isn't he a racist?
Trent Lott won the No. 2 Senate seat in a close race today. What are the Republicans thinking?
Lott actually used to be a Democrat until the party started supporting Black rights in the south; he quickly became a Republican after Democrats endorsed racial integration.
And to make sure people know where he stands today, Lott uttered the following (shameful) words on December 5th, 2002:
"I want to say this about my state: When Strom Thurmond ran for president, we voted for him. We're proud of it. And if the rest of the country had followed our lead, we wouldn't have had all these problems over all these years, either."
The Republicans need to look forward if they want to resolve their problems; bringing Lott back is only going to make life worse for their party.
