"So, according to Ted Cruz, we need 100 more like Jesse Helms in the United States Senate.
Well, let me just tell you a little bit about the late Senator Jesse Helms. This was a man who:
Called the University of North Carolina the “University of Negros and Communists.”
Said that the Civil Rights Act was “the single most dangerous piece of legislation ever introduced in the Congress.”
Used a filibuster to try to prevent a federal holiday honoring Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
Almost always voted against any legislation that promoted civil rights.
Frequently tried to block the appointment of African American judges.
Supported the apartheid regime in South Africa."
