"During his time in Congress, Rarick gained a reputation for racially-tinged rhetoric, frequently inserting into the Congressional Record criticisms and personal attacks directed at Black and Jewish leaders of the day, including Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall and civil rights icon Martin Luther King Jr.

FBI records confirm that Rarick was a member of the Ku Klux Klan, and that he worked with the Silver Dollar Group, a Klan splinter organization responsible for the deaths of at least at least eight black people along the Louisiana-Mississippi border between 1964 and 1967.

In 1972, Congressman Charles Diggs of Detroit called Rarick "the leading racist in Congress" after Rarick testified against a committee measure providing Washington, D.C. self-governing home rule. Rarick had testified that groups such as the "Black Muslims" could gain control of Washington, D.C. should the city be allowed to govern itself."

Probably a John Bircher who disliked Reagan's legalisation of abortion and ban on open carry as Governor of California, or a legacy segregationist.

The same sort of people who loved Lester Maddox and would later vote for David Duke.
