what does "as black as a Republican heart"mean?

English英语译成Chinese汉语 艺术/文学 其它 政治
the context is "
[The more he thought about it, the more wrathful he became. He tuned up his great organ of a voice, and his Texas drawl thickened marvelously. "Everywhere" came out "ahverwhare," "thing" "thang," "right" "raht," something" "sawmthin," "your" "youah," "you" "yew." Rustic vernacular crept into his speech until it became almost as alien as Jacqueline Kennedy's Spanish. Connally and Johnson—for he held the Vice President guilty as a co-conspirator—were as black as a Republican heart.]

不好意思,昨天看的时候没太仔细,刚查了一些背景信息。肯尼迪的刺杀可能跟Tom Connally和Lyndon B. Johnson有关,文中也提到说Connally and Johnson是co-conspirator,特别是Johnson是副总统,跟肯尼迪的关系微妙。因为肯尼迪刺杀的丑闻爆出之后,外界传言是肯尼迪的对手,Oswald干的。而Johnson和Conally跟肯尼迪同样是民主党人,所以说他们很黑心,跟共和党人一样黑心。

肯尼迪遇刺之后,Johnson当了总统。其微妙的关系更不言而喻了。
Note from asker:
就是说脸跟共和党的心一样黑么?
