    “Lindsay Graham just said, “You’re not aware of any effort to go back to the good old days of segregation by a legislative body, is that correct?”

    "If you dont vote for me......... you aint black".....Joe Biden.

    What's the context here? On the surface a Senator saying the days of segregation were good is pretty eye opening and disturbing. But without hearing his statement in full we have no way of knowing the context in which it was said. Is there a reason you only offered a 16 second clip instead of the whole thing?

    It will be interesting to see how what appears to be a Freudian slip plays in Lindsey’s Senate race, he was counting on the exposure of the hearings to push him over the top back home

    Meanwhile, you are going to vote for the guy who said he didn't want his kids to grow up in a "racial jungle", palled around with segregationists, and referred to black kids as "roaches". You know damn well Lindsey Graham meant that sarcastically.

    He said it this morning and it is lighting up social media, plus it is not that much out of context.

    Senator Leahy just previously question the nominee on the Shelby County case in light of the current long lines for voting in black districts in Georgia, and Lindsey, being Committee Chairman, as Committee Chairman often do, felt the need to further clarify her answers. Listen to the sixteen seconds, it all falls into place

    Just his referencing it as the “good old days of segregation,” especially in the southern drawl ain’t going to play well for Lindsey’s image

    Don't forget Obama is the first articulate clean African American

    Maybe because BLACK Lives Matter has brought those good old days back? Because they love living in their own little segregated identity box? They have deliberately brought back segregation.
    Abortion rights dogma can obscure human reason & harden the human heart so much that the same person who feels
    empathy for animal suffering can lack compassion for unborn children who experience lethal violence and excruciating
    pain in abortion.

    Unborn animals are protected in their nesting places, humans are not. To abort something is to end something
    which has begun. To abort life is to end it.

    It may have been intended as mockery of other questions asked of Judge Barrett, but it was a stupid move on his part. It is not playing as sarcasm. Lindsey probably needs to be voted out, he’s losing his political savvy.
