Republicans have the opportunity to make history and embrace their legacy as ending slavery and as pioneers in racial equality. They shouldn't let it pass them by, cwtremo writes.
After two days and six rounds of voting, the House of Representatives has been unable to reach the 218-vote threshold to elect a House speaker. While Democrats have unanimously stood by Rep. Hakeem Jeffries , Republicans have been divided on their support. Yet this stalemate presents a golden opportunity for the GOP.Republicans should embrace their remarkable legacy as pioneers of civil rights, empowering black people and promoting racial equality, and vote for Rep.
Rep. Cori Bush scoffed at the idea that the political party responsible for freeing the slaves and introducing the country's first civil rights legislation could nominate a black man for speaker of the House. Consider her tweet about Donalds, which many claimed was biased and bigoted. From its beginning, the Republican Party was created to oppose the extension of slavery. Its first president, Abraham Lincoln, issued the Emancipation Proclamation to free slaves and presided over the Civil War, which ultimately ended slavery in the country.
