My Congress Rep, Nick LaLota, NY1, doesn't know if slavery was bad [View all]

I called his office today and asked his aide if he thought the Smithsonian African American Museum should stop displaying exhibits about slavery being bad.
His answer was the Congressman hadn't issued a statement about that so he didn't know.
I said, you know, that's not a hard question. Yes or No, is slavery bad? He told me he couldn't answer.
I truly can't believe this asshole represents me.
