Here’s what Jackie Robinson said about the 1964 Republican National Convention: “That convention was one of the most unforgettable and frightening experiences of my life. The hatred I saw was unique to me because it was hatred directed against a white man. It embodied a revulsion for all he stood for, including his enlightened attitude towards black people. A new breed of Republicans had taken over the GOP. As I watched this steamroller operation in San Francisco, I had a better understanding of how it must have felt to be a Jew in Hitler’s Germany.”

Now consider how many times Robinson’s turned over in his grave in the past 24 hours over the Republican party claiming him, the first black Major League Baseball player, as one of their own on the new hilarious GOP website. |Huff Po|
