Nearly 20 percent of Donald Trump's voters in the South Carolina primary disagreed with Abraham Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation, which freed slaves in the Southern states during the Civil War, The New York Times reports, citing exit poll data.

The Times reports that Trump, "who handily won that South Carolina primary and all its delegates, is attracting Republican voters across demographic groups — conservatives, moderates, evangelicals and those who are not born-again Christians. In a sense, he is uniting parts of the party that have been on opposite sides of recent nomination battles."

Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, and Black Lives Matter should all be ashamed of themselves for causing this line of thinking.
