GOP NJ Gov. Christie says black leaders in 1950s-60s would have welcomed popular vote on their rights

The Republican governor of New Jersey, Chris Christie, says that civil rights leaders in the south during the 50s and 60s would have preferred to have people vote on their civil rights rather than having to march in the streets.

Yes, let's put civil rights to a vote in Mississippi, for example, where nearly half of Republicans still wanted to ban inter-racial marriage less than a year ago. Just imagine how they'd have voted in 1964.

Keep in mind, Chris Christie is considered a moderate Republican. Just imagine how bad the rest of them are.
