Republicans often try to use historical facts to persuade people to join the party. Louisiana State Senator Elbert Guillory uses these facts in a powerful video to explain why he recently switched from the Democrat Party to the Republican Party.
Guillory discusses the history of the Republican Party, founded as an Abolitionist Movement in 1854, and how the welfare state is only a mechanism for politicians to control the black community.
By making the switch, Guillory becomes the first black Republican senator in Louisiana since Reconstruction. He has a conservative voting record and has “long been an ally of Gov. Bobby Jindal’s administration, particularly on education and retirement issues,” according to the Times Picayune.
“I pledged my dues, and I look forward to creating new partnerships in the State of Louisiana. I am of this day joining Frederick Douglass as a Republican,” Guillory said.
