“Slavery is an evil of Colossal magnitude & I am utterly averse to the admission of slavery into the Missouri Territories. It being among my first wishes to see some plan adopted by which slavery in this country may be abolished by law.” John Adams, founding father, 2nd POTUShttps://twitter.com/dcexaminer/status/1211684008620429312 …

You campaigned for Roy Moore, who fought to keep AL public school segregation protected in the state constitution. Your campaign co-chair was Steve King.

Aaaaand
@Tedcruz, YOU nominated Rebekah Mercer for Time magazine’s Top 100 a few years ago. Rebekah, daughter of Robert Mercer. There seem to be some questions about how dark their money was. Haven’t heard a peep from the Mercers. Are you in touch?

Well Ted, I never thought I’d RT you but I did. Thank you for this. Most of the Framers - even the hypocritical slave-owning ones - at lease KNEW that slavery was an abomination.pic.twitter.com/954QIF97AJ

That's well and good. Meaningless words (by modern GOP)-on brand! Let's go to tape for the pro-Slavery scripture: the EC (which we're still burdened by), Connecticut Compromise (which we're still burdened by) are in the actual Constitution, as you well know.

So you are telling us that the Founding Fathers were like today's Republicans, they knew a thing was wrong, but allowed it anyway. Got it! Thanks for the history lesson we already knew.

And just like you thought trump should never be president and then become a big supporter, so the founders who hated slavery still voted to keep it protected in the constitution. It’s called flip flopping
