Josh Shapiro and the Democrats, if they want to live by their own standards, are going to have to do something about the problematic organization they belong to and represent on the ballot, writes Michael Tremoglie.
Democrats understandably try to divorce their modern party from its past. That's because the history is shameful. Their icons practiced slavery , engaged in the ethnic cleansing of Native Americans , and herded Americans of Japanese, German, and Italian descent into concentration camps .
If we are going to focus on history in such a strained and peculiar manner in order to create a controversy around Mastriano, then surely, Shapiro's membership in a discriminatory, historically segregationist, pro-slavery political party is equally relevant. The Democratic Party was not ashamed to carry its allegiance to racism, segregation, and domestic terrorism into the 20th century, either. President Woodrow Wilson was an ardent racist who re-segregated the military and the federal civil service. Decades later, President Franklin D. Roosevelt appointed a former Klansman to the Supreme Court over the objections of Republicans. And FDR’s best Depression recovery program jobs were for whites.
