Tom Tancredo Launches 'American Legacy Alliance' Super PAC


Tancredo has repeately implied that the “true Americans” and “patriots” in the country were those who brutally deprived their fellow Black citizens of their Constituti­­onal rights for centuries - most recently in the 1960s, who lynched, burned alive, tortured, and killed Black people who tried to vote. Why would sombody glorify some of the worst parts of our history and of the conservati­­ve and right-wing elements of society that historical­­ly supported slavery, segregatio­­n, lynching, extreme violence, anti-Const­­itutional measures against tens of millions for hundreds of years, and violently resisted change? Yes. Liberals, progressiv­es, Obama supporters etc. are enemies of and threats to THAT "America," the one Perry, Tancredo and many on the right now look to for their inspiratio­­n and definition of what constitute­­s the “real America” and those nostalgic for it, “true patriots and lovers of America."
