Republican leaders should have gone to Selma

Its a shame that the congressional Republican Leadership didnt travel to Selma to pay their respects to their colleague John Lewis on this historic anniversary. A shame and a missed opportunity.

It was Woody Allen who said 80 percent of success is just showing up, and if Republicans want to be successful in attracting more voters, they need to show up at events like this.

Now, there will be Republicans there. Sen. Tim Scott, George W. Bush, Sen Rob Portman, a couple dozen others.

Lest we forget, there would have been no Civil Rights Act and no Voting Rights Act without the Republican Party.

I admire Tim Scott greatly.

He is very good human being, very humble, very focused, and very brave. It takes courage to run in a Republican primary in South Carolina as a black man, but he had that courage and he has done very well. as a result.

I think his election shows that Republicans of all stripes have decided that we should look at the quality of the candidate, not the candidates skin color, when we decide how to vote.

We are still paying the price today for a history of unfathomable discrimination against black people.

You cant routinely underfund schools, break up families, throw people in prison (so they can work for you for free, in many cases), deny opportunities to advance, and then expect the African American community to not sustain lasting damage.

And as a matter of the budget, we are reaping what we sowed. How much do we spend to pay for the prison industry or welfare programs or food stamps?

House Republican Leader Headed to Selma

TIME Politics Civil Rights House Republican Leader Headed to Selma Kevin McCarthy will be the highest ranking Republican member of Congress to attend the "Bloody Sunday" commemoration. Republican leaders were criticized Friday for being absent from the event

In a reversal of plans, Kevin McCarthy, the second-ranking Republican in the House of Representatives, will join around 100 members of Congress who are gathering in Alabama this weekend to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Bloody Sunday. Before McCarthys announcement, no members of the Republican leadership in Congress had been scheduled to attend the event.

Rep. McCarthy, the House Majority Leader, changed his plans late Friday, after a day of widespread media coverage of the lack of Republican leadership in the congressional delegation.

President Obama is scheduled to speak Saturday at the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, Ala., to honor the 50th anniversary of the Civil Rights march that led to the passage of the Voting Rights Act in 1965. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA,) Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA,) Senator Rob Portman (R-OH) and Senator Tim Scott (R-SC) are among the bipartisan coalition led by Rep. John Lewis (D-GA) in his annual Civil Rights pilgrimage. Lewis was one of the student protestors on the bridge in 1965, and was in the crowd that was attacked by police for demanding voting rights.

In remarks to members of Congress traveling with Lewis Friday evening, Portman recalled how Lewis convinced him to attend the event at the White House Christmas Party last year. Pelosi told the audience that the event was not even bipartisan its nonpartisan.

As many as 100,000 people are expected to convene in Selma Saturday to hear the President speak.
