Just The News: Sen. Tim Scott, who represented the same district as former Rep. Joseph Rainey in the House before becoming a senator, discussed Rainey’s life and political career with House GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy in a video tribute.
House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy and South Carolina Republican Sen. Tim Scott honored the first African American member of Congress with a tribute on Friday after a new exhibit in the U.S. Capitol left out his party affiliation.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and House Majority Whip James Clyburn also omitted
that former South Carolina Rep. Joseph Rainey, the first African American to serve in the House of Representatives, was a Republican when the Democratic leaders announced the opening of the new exhibit in the Capitol titled, “Joseph Rainey: 150 Years,” which celebrates the 150th anniversary of Rainey’s swearing-in on December 12, 1870. more

Since 1940 50 Congress Members have been KKK men. 49 belonged to the same party. Which? Hint last of the 49 died a decade ago.
