House Republican Poe Quotes Founder of KKK on Congressional Floor

The Carpetbagger Report is reporting that a House Republican had the nerve to quote one of the founding members of the KKK. Though this is not the first time. The floors of Congress have long been used for members to spill racist and ignorant rhetoric.

Roll Call reports today that a House Republican delivered a foreign policy speech yesterday in which he inaccurately quoted Nathan Bedford Forrest, founder of the KKK. On Monday, Rep. Ted Poe took to the House floor to discuss foreign policy matters. To make a point, the Texas Republican invoked the words of Civil War Confederate Gen. Nathan Bedford Forrest: “Git thar fustest with the mostest.”
