If it furthered his political power, yes.
Wallace was an opportunist AND a racist.
What makes him so vile is that he WASN'T a racist, he just pretended to be ..... in order to gain power for himself .......
Hmmm.
Sounds familiar with a current "vile" candidate .... you know the one with orange-hair.
Not true considering Trump isn't actively and openly appealing to people's racism but rather allowing them to project it onto him.
That's still a pretty similarly vile form of campaigning that is going to hurt the GOP long term with minorities who are going to get this idea that the GOP is the party of white supremacists.
