NRSC Calls On Hodes To Renounce Democrat Senate Leader's Comparison Between Health Care And Slavery

WASHINGTON – The National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) called on Democrat Senate hopeful U.S. Representative Paul Hodes (D-NH) to immediately and publicly renounce Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid’s (D-NV) inflammatory statements this morning when he compared the opponents of his $2.5 trillion government-run health care bill to defenders of slavery in the 19th century.

“Paul Hodes should immediately renounce these statements by Democrat Senate Leader Harry Reid, who compared Americans who rightly oppose the Democrats’ government-run health care plan to those who once defended the deplorable act of slavery,” said NRSC spokeswoman Amber Wilkerson Marchand. 

 

“If Congressman Hodes is going to stand by his constituents in his campaign for the U.S. Senate, he must immediately and publicly repudiate this deeply offensive remark. If he remains silent, New Hampshire voters can only conclude that Hodes agrees with Reid’s offensive statements about Americans who do not want ObamaCare in their state,” Marchand concluded.

DNC Statement on Juneteenth 

Washington, DC—DNC Chairman Tim Kaine and DNC Black Caucus Chair Virgie M. Rollins issued the following statement commemorating Juneteenth:

 

“On this day in 1865, emancipation finally made it west, freeing the last slaves in Texas. So today, we commemorate the end of slavery in America and honor all those throughout our history who have fought for freedom, equality and justice by celebrating Juneteenth.

 

“As we take time to honor this occasion, we also stop to consider the remarkable path African Americans have forged, from slavery to the White House. With the first African American President of the United States, we usher in an era of endless opportunity. A new generation of Americans will be raised with no limits to their dreams – something their predecessors, who fought for equality as slaves in the fields of Texas and Freedom Riders in the streets of Alabama, may have never been able to imagine.

 

“But while we have come a long way, we still have further to go. We at the DNC join President Obama and the African American community in the fight to ensure equality in education, employment, and health care for all Americans.”
