"Thank God for Slavery": The Words of a Florida Democrat. No, Really. Don't Worry, It Gets Worse.

I want you to take a moment and imagine something with me. I want you to imagine a lawmaker repeatedly investigated and fined by their state’s election commission, year in and year out.

I want you to imagine the kind of person who helped pass a law that forbids minors from getting an abortion without parental consent...despite the fact she herself had such a procedure while a minor, without parental consent, and despite the fact a previous Supreme Court case struck down a law just like this one before.

I want you to imagine the kind of person who would say slavery is a blessing, because it means African Americans know Christianity instead of living “somewhere in Africa, worshiping a tree”. I want you to imagine a person who wants the bible taught in school, “objectively”, but refuses to support teaching the Koran for the same reasons.

I want you to imagine the kind of person who dismisses the Holocaust out of hand, trivializing it by proclaiming “The Jews own everything”.

I don’t know what kind of person you’re picturing (but I can guess), but the person you are hearing about is a Democratic woman of color. She’s Representative Kim Daniels, and she needs to go.
