SCHUMER TO INTRODUCE RESOLUTION RENAMING RUSSELL SENATE BUILDING AFTER McCAIN.

The building is currently named for former Sen. Richard Russell Jr. (D-Ga.), who was president pro tempore of the Senate when he died in 1971. There have been calls to rename the office building for years as Russell was a segregationist who led a Southern boycott of the Democratic National Convention after President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act in 1964.

Why has the Democratic party been such a cesspit of racism?
