        Required in part b/c Democrats had gutted the Civil Rights legislation pushed by Republicans in 1957 & 1960 –- history blackballed by profs.

        Who is denying history? Parties switched positions on civil rights after '64 Act, with former Ds like Thurmond becoming Rs & being welcomed.

        Robert Caro does a good job of documenting some of the history of the Democrats in the 1950s that Democrat professors have hidden.

        Again, nobody is hiding anything. Strongest opposition to civil rights came from southern Ds in 1950s, southern Rs in more recent decades.

        We need to have an honest conversation, equating 1950s Democrats to 2010 Republicans is dishonest, a dishonesty enabled by academic bubble.

        But he didn't do it on Twitter, so it doesn't count. After all, the WH says Trump's tweets are "official presidential statements."

        Too bad everyone forgets that he voted AGAINST a Civil Rights bill just a few short years earlier......
