Artur Davis: Most Blacks Don’t
Equate Gay Rights with Civil Rights
Daily Caller – Artur Davis interview
– 18 minutes
On
May 29, Artur Davis announced he was leaving the Democratic Party and becoming a
Republican.
Formerly a Democratic congressman from
Alabama , Artur
Davis now identifies as a Republican.
While in Congress,
Davis served on
the House
Ways and Means Committee and was active in the
Congressional Black Caucus. In 2008, he gave a speech seconding Barack Obama’s
nomination for president at the Democratic National
Convention.
In 2009, he joined
just 38 other House Democrats in opposing Obamacare. Davis opted to not run for
re-election in 2010 and instead ran for Alabama governor. He ultimately failed
to win the Democratic primary and left Congress in
2011.
The Democratic Party is not the big
tent anymore and certainly not home to any conservative idea that would embrace
issues that lift up the Black Community. Americans know that politicians spend
money and have little faith in their elected officials. Under ObamaCare all
companies (large and small) will game the system—drop insurance coverage and
reduce hiring to remain under the government
threshold.
