Jesse Helms quotes
Jesse Helms was an American politician and longtime U.S. Senator from North Carolina. Known for his staunchly conservative views, he played a prominent role in shaping Republican politics in the late 20th century. He was often a polarizing figure, strongly opposing civil rights legislation and promoting traditional values. Here are 35 of his quotes:
