It was the longest single-person Senate speech until 2025, when the record was broken by Cory Booker with Booker speaking for twenty-five hours and four minutes.

He loved black women. He just didn't like being responsible.

No, he didn't, and his black mistresses were chosen for being full of self hate themselves.
