Democratic Senator Tim Kaine announced on the floor of the Senate that:

 

“The United States didn’t inherit slavery from anybody. We created it.”

 

A stunningly stupid statement.

I think he’s genuinely insane 

 

This has been going on for a long time.  I remember being in Vancouver, BC on bidness about 15 years ago and had to pass 2 or 3 on location movies sets between my hotel and the office.  I was told they get good tax incentives for shooting there so they do.

Could be very serious news.

If that is Redhawk’s breakfast I would agree with your assessment.

Well, not really.  He's a rather bright guy.  The rest of the story from 5 years ago (You guys really dig for this marginal stories.  He's not a threat.  He had to be persuaded to run again).

 

 

“The first African Americans sent into the English colonies came to Point Comfort in 1619. They were slaves, they had been captured against their will, but they landed in colonies that didn’t have slavery — there were no laws about slavery in the colonies at that time,” Kaine explained. “The United States didn’t inherit slavery from anybody. We created it. It got created by the Virginia General Assembly and the legislatures of other states. It got created by the court systems in colonial America that enforced fugitive slave laws.”

In a statement to National Review, Kaine attempted to clarify his remarks — which were much longer than the prepared speech released by his office.

“There was no law mandating slavery on our shores when African slaves came ashore in 1619. Did slavery already exist in the world? Of course. But not in the laws of colonial America at the time,” Kaine explained. “We could have been a nation completely without the institution. But colonial legislatures and courts, and eventually the U.S. legal system, created the institution on our shores and maintained slavery until the 13th Amendment. As I said, we didn’t inherit it. We chose to create it.”
