Republicans talk about it like it's current news. It was 60 years ago, everyone in West Virginia already knows and have known about it for a long time.

If they had a problem with it they already would've voted him out.

1948 was almost 60 years ago. Why does Lotts comments matter?

If they do, they can forget about affirmation action or similar nonsense.  They'd lose all credibility with that policy.

Huh?

Republicans lose credibility opposing affirmative action when they nominate or highlight someone who is minority or female on some basis other than merit for the job specified (i.e., political reasons).

Democrats aren't affected by opposing candidates they think are unqualified for a job, I don't see why it would effect them.

Nice double standard, ain't it?
