Thurmond was in the Guinness Book of World Records. Wait for it—Trump will threaten the publishers of Guinness if they replace Thurmond there.

And let's remember the Southern Democrats who changed parties and became Republicans, because Republicans in the 1960's were, and still are, racists.

Strom Thurmond was actually a Democrat when he gave his racist 1957 filibuster and changed to Republican in 1964.

I was kind of worried about him since he didn’t take any bathroom or food breaks. 😮
