I like light skinned ! Light skinned, you hear?
I don’t want none of that dark meat!”
Harry Ried –
Senator, lawyer, democrat.
December 2, 1939 – December 28, 2021.
Aged 82 years.
Most recognized for: Politicians hate a filibuster… unless it’s their party that’s doing the filibustering. As majority Leader, Harry invoked the “nuclear option” in 2013 to end a Republican filibuster. Years later, the move became the precedent used to end a Democratic filibuster and appoint Trump’s Supreme Court justices.
