QUOTES:

• “I was born black, I attended all-Negro schools including college, I grew up in the segregated South during Jim Crow. If anybody knows a racist, I do. Pat Buchanan ain’t no racist.”

• “God brought African slaves to America so that their descendants would know freedom”

• “This idea that you come to school hungry — come on! It’s crazy! It’s just so they can bring in all these lunch programs, breakfast programs — next, it’s going to be dinner! . . . That’s not the job of the schools — to feed the children. Let them pay for it or let them bring their own.”

• “The illegals come over [the Arizona border] into the ranches. They kill their cattle. They rape their children. The children can’t play in the yard anymore.”

• “These mental health programs are another thing that needs to be booted out of our schools! Every time there’s a tragedy, they have to send for grief counselors. How totally ridiculous!”

• “Our people were better off under the bondage of slavery than the Marxist ‘Great Society’ of Johnson.”
