Jeffrey Lord: 'Dems Couldn't Even Bring Themselves To Apologize For Slavery'

CNN brought their resident bigot and Trump apologist Jeffrey Lord, front and center to once again confound viewing audiences everywhere with bogus accusations against Democrats. We've heard him reach back to the 1860s to explain why Democrats are the "real racists," and now he's got a new version of that, cribbed from Dinesh D'Souza's latest boiling pot of lies about Hillary Clinton.

"Let me just set the record straight if I can about the record of the Democratic Party," Lord began. This kind of introduction is always a clue he's about to distort the record, and he did, with host Jim Sciutto's full blessing, I might add.

"[Democrats] had six platforms that supported slavery, over 20 that supported segregation or they refused to even touch the subject. They just had a convension. They couldn't even bring themselves to apologize for slavery," he said.

After shushing New York Democratic Party Basil Smikle while going on about how badly blacks have been treated by Democrats, Mr. Smikle finally got a word in edgewise.

"What has the Democratic party done for African-Americans? We elected the first black president and the first Mayor of New York," Smikle said.
