At a campaign rally on Tuesday, socialist Senator Bernie Sanders called President Trump “the most racist, sexist, homophobic, bigoted president in history.” Racial minorities seem not to have gotten the memo, as support for Trump among black and Hispanic voters has surged in recent months and the Jewish State names a train station after Trump in Jerusalem. Likewise Trump’s alleged sexism must come as a surprise to the historically large number of women he has appointed to senior administration roles, as well as to the gay voters who watched him wave a rainbow flag on stage before acknowledging the “our LGBTQ community” at his party’s national convention — a first for a Republican presidential nominee.
The racism charge is rich coming from Sanders, whose sometime political party waged the bloodiest war in American history to preserve slavery, founded the Ku Klux Klan, instituted Jim Crow laws, opposed civil rights legislation for a century, and destroyed the black family. Socialists like Sanders don’t know much about history, so in the spirit of education, let’s examine some truly racist presidents.
