Two black Republicans — Garrison Coward and D.J. Jordan — are running for seats in Virginia, in a legislature that has hosted only two black Republicans since Reconstruction, and none since 2004.

Good about time.

I wish them well. But I think that party has shown nothing to offer them.

Good luck 🍀

Are they republicans? How could it be? In the times of Trump being a black republican is wrong.

Hey Garrison, running for public office is tough enough but even tougher when your sir name is 'Coward'. File this comment under: Jus' sayin'.

Why on earth would someone of color join a group that racists decide they want to be a part of?

Do not understand that at all. They should look at history.

Maybe, and I'm spitballing here, but maybe that means there's something intrinsically wrong with the party you're trying to represent?

old white guy assets?

Black Republicans? Seriously? I hope they lose.

Given Trump's stereotype hatred for colour people in America, I don't see any prospect for them in the Republican except to use them to make up the required number to get a bill through.

So can we shut down the democratic party now....they cannot play the race card anymore

The Democratic party has taken the black voter for granted over the last 50 years, ignoring them except during elections and pushing programs that are not in the best interests of Black Americans. Republicans have an opportunity.

Republicans have not had a good idea since color TV was invented folks ....... NOT ONE

Coward sums it up just right .....

Wonder how their black-face governor opposes them...

Racist democrats still hate black republicans . Some things never change.

They gonna need more than 2 clowns to start a circus

democRats are still the party of the KKK

democRats are Fascists

BS! It's no more called the republican party, it's called the trump party.

Sorry still not a Democrat.

U mean black on the outside white on the inside Republicans. I call them roast breadfruits. They ain't my kinfolks.

Meanwhile, 21 transgender women have been murdered, the majority of whom were women of color, and hasn’t seemed to mention a single word about it. But thank god for your coverage or republicans running for office. 👍🏻blackTRANSlivesmatter

The more minority representatives in the GOP, the better. Best of luck!

Hopefully this leads to more black Americans getting off of the Democrat plantation. This is great to hear!

NPR Choice pageLooks like Citizens United is working as intended People are too focused on a 2020 matchup with trump. A matchup against a pence/Haley ticket is more likely and 100% guaranteed to win over any ticket that has sanders or warren. If the Dems do not put forth a moderate candidate they will lose in 2020. Hillary raised a vast amount over Trump and it still did her no good.
