At a rally Tuesday night in Everett, Washington, GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump referenced the Democratic Party's role in the history of slavery and racial oppression and said he was proud to represent "Abraham Lincoln's Republican Party."

"Nothing makes me more honored and proud than to be the nominee of Abraham Lincoln’s Republican Party," Trump said.

About the Democrats, he said: "It is the Democratic Party that is the party of slavery, the party of Jim Crow, the party of oppression."

"Our party will fight to bring hope to every forgotten stretch of this country. Once again, we will be One American Nation," he also said.

Transcript, via the Trump campaign:

DONALD TRUMP: I will not accept, and neither will you, a future in which children of color --any color-- in this country are not fully included in the American Dream.

Our whole country loses when we leave millions of talented, aspiring Americans on the sidelines. We want to give everyone a chance to contribute their full talents to our economy and our country.

Remember, and many people don't know this: the Republican Party is the Party of Abraham Lincoln, not bad! It is also the party of freedom, equality and opportunity.

It is the Democratic Party that is the party of slavery, the party of Jim Crow, the and party of [oppression].

“It’s Democrat Party, Don—Democrat—not Democratic.”

Thank you! It seems that everyone says it incorrectly now — even the conservative pundits/MSM (Hannity) and alleged brainiacs.

DEMOCRAT. DEMOCRAT. DEMOCRAT

[Dr. Sivana]

He’s willing to go where no modern republican dared to go...to the black community and tell them to hold (finally) democrats for their 50 years of failed liberal policies which have destroyed the black family and led into a cul-de-sac of poverty....

He is uniquely situated to do that because he has more than enough distance from the white show, condescension-dripping, Sanger-loving Rockefeller wing of the Republican Party. He also has needed distance from well-meaning Republicans whose priorities put their sources of campaign cash first.

[Hotlanta Mike]

He is marginalizing the establishment of both parties, thus a new republican party is taking shape as the democrats become more entrenched to special interests.

Trump’s campaign has become a movement as a return to open, honest, trustworthy government, and putting America first and taking care of our own American refugees (inner city poor).

I’ve been saying this for years. About time a Republican candidate say this.

[Little Ray]

The Democrat Party was actually created for the very purpose of preserving slavery and preventing it from being an issue.

[RavenLooneyToon]

The DemocRATic Party IS the party of Slavery and unfortunately, blacks live voluntarily on the leftist Liberal Plantation.

It was a great speech! I was at the rally and the crowd was huge, excited and LOUD! It was a YUGE surprise to have Reince, Rudy and Senator Sessions there - crowd liked them all but especially went nuts when Rudy came in.

For those that missed the speech and want to see it:
