| Dem Rep ‘Sees Nothing Wrong’ With Changing The Anthem |
| 2017-11-10 |
| [DAILYCALLER] WASHINGTON ‐ Illinois Democratic Rep. Danny Davis says he sees ’nothing wrong’ with the Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party, ACLU’s effort to ban the Star Spangled Banner as the country’s national anthem. "Well, you know, one of the things about the Constitution that our forefathers wrote, and basically, there were none of our foremothers that were there. There were none of our fore-sisters there. There are changes that can take place and there is room to change," he told TheDC Thursday. Alice Huffman, president of the California chapter of the NAACP, declared the anthem to be "racist" and that it "doesn’t represent our community. It’s anti-black people," SFGate.com, reported Wednesday. The NAACP is hoping for politicians to change it. Davis, a member of the Congressional Black Caucus went on to say, "Intellectually, if people continue to pursue this nation to become perfected, then I see nothing wrong with that. I mean it was designed, I think they said, to form a more perfect union." |

| #6 Whenever I read that some politician said something stupid, I go to Wikipedia and look for a picture of them. Let's just say I am rarely surprised by what they look like. |
