June 19, 2025 Quick Hit

Thu, 06/19/2025 - 07:34

In this Coulee Conservatives quick-hit episode, Chris Muller reflects on Juneteenth, sharing overlooked historical context about the holiday’s origins and its ties to the Republican Party’s founding mission to end slavery. Chris reads from an anonymous 2024 article published on couleeconservatives.com, highlighting key points such as:

  • The Republican Party was established in 1854 to oppose slavery.

  • Abraham Lincoln’s election and Republican-led efforts to abolish slavery sparked Southern Democrat secession and the Civil War.

  • The 1964 Civil Rights Act succeeded thanks to Republican leaders overcoming Democrat filibusters.

Chris critiques mainstream media for omitting these facts and draws parallels between the Confederate secession and what he describes as today’s Democrat-supported sanctuary cities and states, calling it a modern insurgency tied to illegal immigration.
