Swan: "Lyndon Johnson! He passed the Civil Rights Act."
Trump: "Ask, ask: how has it worked out? If you take a look at what Lyndon Johnson did. How has it worked out?"
Swan: "You think the Civil Rights Act was a mistake?"

Well it did eventually lead to him and his father being sued by the Justice Dept for discriminating against Blacks wanting to rent their properties. So I'm going to guess he probably isn't too keen on the progression of civil rights legislation that began with the 1964 Act.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
