Ah the hats, I remember that part.
“The absurdity was demonstrated recently when 2 Senators from opposite parties were caught on audio remarking about party affiliations?.”
What are their names? Sounds like we need to get rid of that RINO.
I’m forgetting the White Senator. The Black Senator was Reginald Tate of Memphis, who will be the seniormost Black member in that body with the departure of Harper. The ACU didn’t rate Tate in 2017 because of absences, but he voted “+” on virtually every one of their issues when he did vote.
I remember I went to look up a particular fella in Kansas (Haley) from a Black Republican family in the KC area. His father served as a GOP State Senator and later was an Ambassador. The son tried to run for the legislature (House) as a Republican, but they wouldn’t vote for him. He ran as a Democrat and they did. I was curious to see how he voted, if it was far left to pander, but turned out to be centrist, proving again as I said, Blacks will elect a center-right person as long as it’s a Democrat. He’s more Conservative than a number of White RINOs in the state who have no business not being Democrats (the infamous “Moderates” who are anything but, the 3rd party in KS than infests the GOP).
