Cummings also said it was the Democrats who championed black voting rights. The 15th Amendment to the Constitution, guaranteeing black men the right to vote, was passed with every Republican voting yes and every Democrat voting no. There were 56 Democrats in Congress at the time, and all 56 vote against that Amendment.
I'm not saying there haven't been changes to the party makeup since then...clearly there has been change. But the willingness of these people to lie, is staggering. Go ahead Spence and Paul, tell me how Cummings is actually correct.
