The January Democratic presidential debates that will be held in Myrtle Beach is now scheduled for the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday, announced U.S. Rep. James Clyburn's office Sunday.
The debate, sponsored by the Congressional Black Caucus Institute and to be telecast by CNN, will take place on Monday, Jan. 21.
The debate, which had previously been scheduled for Jan. 17, will be held at the Palace Theater.
“It is fitting this final South Carolina Democratic Presidential debate will take place on the day South Carolina and the nation honor Martin Luther King, Jr.,” Clyburn, House Majority Whip, said in a news release. " ... This debate will set the tone for the final week of campaigning for Democratic candidates in South Carolina. It will be their opportunity to demonstrate their appeal to a diverse electorate.”
About half the voters in South Carolina’s Democratic presidential primary are expected to be African Americans.
“About half the voters in South Carolina’s Democratic presidential primary are expected to be African Americans.”
Almost 100% of whom are ignorant of the fact that it was the Republican Party, through Abraham Lincoln, who secured their emancipation.
Prediction: This will be a contest to see who can claim to be “most like MLK Jr.” The womanizing Marxist plagiarist.
Hillary is expected to tell them what questions to ask any day now.
Blah
Remember, the NAALCP is STILL supposed to be “boycotting” South Carolina because they have a small Army of Northern Virginia battle flag flying at the Confederate Soldiers’ Monument on the Statehouse grounds (seven years after the state complied with the NAACP demand to remove the Confederate naval jack from on top of the Statehouse dome). Whenever possible, the Rats suck up to the NAALCP by not spending money for gas or lodging in South Carolina. So for them to come to Myrtle Beach and have this black-pandering debate on the MLK holiday is the height of hypocrisy.

It would appear that the Congressional Black Caucus Institute has yet to receive the boycott memo.
