Democratic Lawmaker Says GOP Would Bring Back Slavery

Rep. Hank Johnson (D-GA) said that Republicans would “gladly” bring back slavery during a House Judiciary Committee hearing.

Said Johnson: “I mean, if you could get back to slavery, you would gladly do so. But if you could pay people a dollar an hour, you would settle for that. And that’s, that’s the race to the bottom that we have with immigrants lined up at the border trying to get in and go to work. And my Republican friends talk about how they don’t like that — how it’s a crisis — but yet they savor it.”
