About this listen
Jesse Helms didn’t move with the times, he stood in front of them and said “No.” For over three decades, Senator Jesse Helms turned obstruction into strategy, morality into legislation, and the culture war into his personal mission field. From North Carolina radio rants to the halls of Congress, Helms made his name by drawing hard lines and refusing to budge. He fought civil rights, foreign aid, gay rights, and modern art with the same unwavering conviction and changed the shape of American conservatism in the process. JESSE HELMS: The Senator Who Said No is a sharp, story-driven biography of one of the most polarizing figures in modern U.S. history. No preaching. No spin. Just the rise, reign, and raw legacy of the man who helped write the GOP’s playbook, one “no” at a time.
