Meet Harold Ford Jr.: Anne Coulter's Favorite Democrat
New Yorkers are starting to get acquainted with their new neighbor, former Tennessee Congressman and bank executive Harold Ford, Jr.

So who is the REAL Harold Ford, Jr.?

Well, for starters, he’s a staunch opponent of abortion rights. He also disapproves of marriage equality for gay couples, opposes public safety laws to keep guns off the streets, and blames immigrants for America’s problems. Doesn’t sound like much of a New Yorker, does he?

Of course, now that he’s living in Manhattan instead of south of the Mason-Dixon line, Ford is remaking himself as a pro-choice, pro-gay, pro-gun control progressive. But unfortunately for Harold, this is the age of the internet, and you can’t just walk away from your past statements. That’s why we compiled this video of the REAL Harold Ford, Jr., to introduce New Yorkers to their latest carpetbagger.

1. Ford lost me forever when he appeared on the Bill Maher show
and literally cringed when Maher said "fuck".

2. Ford is exactly what is wrong with American politics
His morals, integrity and the rest are all for sale.

6. Actually
I think he lost the TN senate race due to racism. Some of those commercials that were put up (like with the white woman telling Ford to call her) were disgusting.

7. He did.
And he had good reason to run from his family. His uncle was under investigation and his aunt was hitting the bottle.
