Jacob Javits, a New York Senator from 1957 to 1981. He was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom and there is a convention center in New York City named after him.
He was regarded as a good legislator, first in the US House and later in the US Senate.
He felt any political party should reflect the true diversity of the USA.
Senator Javits is for real. He was a staunch liberal while being a member of the Republican Party. The Republican Party somewhere along the way lost its sense of belonging to the people and serve a plutocratic base.
