ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith: ‘Every black person in America vote Republican’ for one election

[Geee]

Washington Times:

ESPN host Stephen A. Smith said Tuesday that he has a dream: “Every black person in America vote Republican” for one election.

 

“What I dream is that for one election, just one, every black person in America vote Republican,” he said. “Because from what I’ve read, and I’m open to correction, but from what I’ve read, Barry Goldwater is going against Lyndon B. Johnson. He’s your Republican candidate. He is completely against the Civil Rights Movement.

 

“Lyndon B. Johnson was in favor of it. What happens is, he wins office, Barry Goldwater loses office,” Mr. Smith added. “But there was a senate, a Republican senate, that pushed the votes to the president’s desk. It was the Democrats who were against Civil Rights legislation. So because President Lyndon B. Johnson was a Democrat, black America assumed the Democrats were for it.”
