Congressman Moran was a rock-ribbed Democrat from Maine. In November 1935, he interrupted Flora Blackford's (S-New York) impassioned plea for aid to Confederate blacks, accusing her of caring for them not because they were black but because they were Red, and asserting that most people in the United States worried very little about them. House Speaker Charles W. La Follette gaveled him for being out of order, much as he had done to a cadre of Freedomite Congressmen a few minutes before. When Flora quoted rhetoric from Thomas Jefferson, Moran sneered at her for relying on a damnable Virginian, declaring his preference for John Adams and Alexander Hamilton any day. When Flora asked whether Moran had compassion for human beings, Moran said that the blacks were in a foreign country of no concern to the USA. At last, Flora asked Moran if he would intervene if the persecuted people were Irish, and he said that since they weren't, the question was irrelevant. Flora's proposed censure of the CSA was not passed.
