2022 FactCheck: on Civil Rights


Ted Budd: Racist policies due to Democrats; GOP brings people together

[Campaign announcement]: "It's all about election integrity to us, but for them, they're about fracturing and deceiving people and that's all this racism is about. If you look at the policies that are actually racist, including Jim Crow, including slavery, that all goes back to the Democrat Party. When you look at what Republicans did, it's about bringing people together."

FactCheck by PublicSeminar.org (7/9/20): All things did indeed reverse more than half a century ago. The Democratic Party's ruling coalition, which had prevailed since the 1930s, shattered under the weight of the backlash against the Vietnam War and the passing of the Civil and Voting Rights Acts. At the same time, the Republican Party, seeing a power vacuum, traded white liberal conservatives (which was the majority of New England) and Black Republicans for southern segregationists.
