These people are idiots, what else can I say?

On Tuesday’s Politics Nation show, MSNBC contributor Goldie Taylor described the Republican Party as “built out of the old Dixiecrats” who “wouldn’t want black and brown people living in their community” as she and MSNBC host Al Sharpton responded to RNC Chairman Reince Priebus alluding to the GOP’s history of supporting the Civil Rights Movement. After a clip of Priebus, Sharpton posed:
The Republican Party was the party of equality. But we’re not in the 1950s anymore. I mean, is this the best they can do?
After taking a jab at Republicans talking about “rebranding” the party, she continued:
You know, the fact of the matter is Republicans did for a very long time in this country represent the party of equal protection. But then we had something called the Civil Rights Act happen. And a major re-alignment of parties happened in this country. And so, now today, you’ve got a Republican party built out of the old Dixiecrats.
As Sharpton injected, “Right,” she added:
And those are the very same Dixiecrats who wouldn’t want black and brown people living in their community. Certainly, wouldn’t want LGBT members of that community in their community.
