Strom Thurmond, an&nbsp;opponent of the Civil Rights Movement.<\/p>\n<p>Clyburn said, \u201cI believe Joe Manchin is proud of his record in West Virginia and the country. I don\u2019t believe he\u2019d like to see that record sullied by going down in history as one who, out of tradition, set out to deny basic rights to American people. Now we\u2019ve had that to happen in the past. Strom Thurmond, in 1957 set the filibuster record against a Civil Rights bill that wasn\u2019t a bill. It was just a statement of policy. I don\u2019t think Joe Manchin would want to see that for himself .\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"gmxrevmore\" class=\"H\"><\/figure>\n<p>Reid asked, \u201cThe King holiday is coming up. If, in fact, Joe Manchin does not budge and continues to stand by the filibuster and wrap his arms around that more than voting rights, is it not time for a Civil Rights group like the NAACP, for the groups that he\u2019s going to be looking to to convene with on MLK day to do the annual thing politicians like to do \u2014 is it time for Civil Rights groups and organizations to condemn him as to being akin to a modern-day&nbsp;Strom Thurmond?\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>Clyburn said, \u201cNo question. I have a long history in South Carolina. I knew Strom Thurmond well. We used to have desks next to each other when we worked state government together, and so that didn\u2019t stop me from saying to Strom Thurmond you\u2019re off base and need to reckon with the truth. I\u2019ll say the same thing here. I\u2019ll join with my colleagues in the NAACP and every other Civil Rights organization doing what is necessary to call these people out.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Follow Pam Key on Twitter <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/pamkeyNEN\">@pamkeyNEN<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>House Majority Whip James Clyburn (D-SC) said\u00a0Friday on MSNBC\u2019s \u201cThe ReidOut\u201d that if Sen.\u00a0Joe Manchin (D-WV) blocked the Democrats from changing the filibuster rules to pass voting rights, he should &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":36,"featured_media":1890133,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1198499","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1198499","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/36"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1198499"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1198499\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1890133"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1198499"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1198499"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1198499"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
