Jon Stewart on the GOP's New Yada Yada Yada Strategy

Jon Stewart used a famous Seinfeld joke to explain how Republicans are approaching trying to woo black voters. In a speech at Howard University Rand Paul tried to argue that the reason black voters haven't been voting Republican is because the GOP hasn't been talking enough about their connection to black history, i.e. being the party of Abraham Lincoln. But Stewart reminds him: "See, because for the last 50 years, the Republican Party has embraced a craven political calculation known as the Southern strategy." So basically, the Republicans are trying to "yada yada yada" history.
