      Dan McLaughlin Retweeted b-boy bouiebaisse

      Ben Tillman, arguably the worst racist in Senate history, took guns from black Americans, wrote the first federal campaign finance law, & was anti-business populist & vigorous backer of William Jennings Bryan's populist campaign in 1896, & a loyal Senate ally of Woodrow Wilson.https://twitter.com/jbouie/status/1155886305630400513 …

      Tillman's white supremacist protege, James Byrnes, was a key New Dealer & appointed by FDR to the U.S. Supreme Court. Here's Pitchfork Ben Tillman getting a warm welcome from Woodrow Wilson.pic.twitter.com/qdL4EJUhAK

      Tillman's 1902 fistfight with a Senate colleague from his own state was the reason why the Senate passed the rule against disparaging a fellow Senator https://www.senate.gov/artandhistory/history/minute/Senate_Fistfight.htm …

      Teddy Roosevelt disinvited Tillman from the White House after that fistfight, then poured salt in the wound by inviting Booker T. Washington. Tillman: “entertaining that n------ will necessitate our killing a thousand n------s in the South before they learn their place again.”

      Dan McLaughlin Retweeted Jarrett Stepman

      He was the most openly pro-lynching figure in American political history. Truly a vile person. He represented the grim endpoint of placing identity politics & populism above the classical liberal principles of the American Founding.https://twitter.com/JarrettStepman/status/1155893713492750338 …

      Not to mention the fact that he was a member of the Red Shirts, a violent paramilitary group. His racism was not limited to simple bigoty...

      Yeah, the pandering-to-racists parts of the Woodrow Wilson & FDR Administrations were not at all subtle or incidental.https://twitter.com/MickGMick/status/1155894659497037825 …

      Byrnes was also Roosevelt’s Secretary of State.

          I lived briefly in the North Charleston projects, which in the early 1960s were segregated. The south end, "reserved" for black residents, was actually named for Ben Tillman. https://twitter.com/baseballcrank/status/1155891574687051787 …

          South Carolina was a total loss for Republicans at the presidential level between Grant & Eisenhower. In 1952, Ike almost won a state where no Republican had even drawn 10% of the vote in 56 years.pic.twitter.com/q4RJl1NDR6
