Praise the Lord!!! The senate is forever improved!
Except Reid was one of the best Majority Leaders of recent times. Leaps and bounds better than Frist, the racist Lott, and of course McConnell.
Heck, if we're naming bad and racist majority leaders like Lott, I'll toss in the forum's favorite Klansman Robert Byrd.
No Byrd is a Democrat. He can do no wrong!
Bringing up the fact that Byrd was a Democrat is not acknowledging party realignment ever happened.
Party realignment happens all the time. Party SWITCHING - which some are actually simplistic and ignorant enough to argue pretty much happened - never happened, and will never happen. Robert Byrd was a racist liberal; they can exist. Period.
And yes, he "fully recanted," but who hasn't?! I don't see anyone giving people like Strom Thurmond a pass; it's just inconvenient for your narrative that a former Klansman who voted against the CRA was saying things like "I've known a lot of White n*ggers" as late as 2001 and was the leader of Senate Democrats as late as 2009...
