Rep. Keith Ellison: Trump ‘Worst Republican Nominee Since George Wallace’
Legal Insurrection ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 07/24/2016 10:06:42 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

On the off chance that far-left Dem congressman Keith Ellison is on your holiday shopping list, we have the perfect gift suggestion: a good biography of George Wallace. On today’s This Week, Ellison claimed that Donald Trump was “the worst Republican nominee since George Wallace.”

Just one small problem, of course. As Republican Rep. Tom Cole pointed out, Wallace was a Democrat who sought the Dem presidential nomination [multiple times] and even addressed the Democratic National Convention [in 1972.] Ruh-roh!

“So sad to see someone this misguided be a part of our government.”

Agree, but as you know this sentence could be used generically to describe so many of the untalented self-promoting scum that wind up in politics. Personally, I think everyone running for public office should be required to have spent at least 10 years in the private sector before being allowed to run for office. That, and strict term limits would be the best way to avoid having the unimpressive pathetic crowd we currently have.

What is wrong with the people who elect representatives like Ellison, Hank Johnson, Alan Grayson, Sheila Jackson-Lee, Nancy Pelosi, Maxine Waters, etc.?

George Wallace was re-elected Governor as a Democrat in 1982. He left office in 1987 still a Democrat.

Yes, as mentioned in the article, GOP congressman Tom Cole corrected him.

Keith Ellison calls Trump worst ‘Republican’ candidate since George Wallace.

Gov. Wallace was indeed a racist Republican, until he tragically died in the Great Guam Flipover. In fact, he once even described President Obama as someone who, in a previous era, would be getting him coffee.

(Please, do not ask for a /s tag.)

I was going to vote for Wallace if he won the democrat nomination , he was ahead in delegates ,but then he got shot

Nixon was a BIG disappointment but then with McGovern running I had to vote for him

Nothing, except that they are voting in their own short-term self-interest, not recognizing the long-term loss of their own individual freedom.

I agree. You know, we just did what we think Blacks should have done decades ago.

Our leaders didn’t look out for us or the nation, so we finally had enough, and this year we took the leadership back from them.

Hopefully Blacks will follow suit.

I only saw him playing the race card. If it’s more than that, then I would agree.
