We're getting more and more video confirmation about the worst elements of our society. A lot of people sat up and said "Whoa, I never thought those allegations were true." That the GOP really does have a racist subsegment and he, and others, had been ignoring the problem by dismissing it as untrue.Ī couple of years ago, after the body camera thing got notice, we ended up with these videos of cops planting things on suspects or in their cars. But the amount of racists and white nationalists that have come forward within the last few years and openly stated their positions and their GOP affliilation has made him realize that he was wrong. He wasn't, his fellow Republicans weren't so he felt comfortable telling Democrats and similar groups that they were wrong. For years, as a Republican, he would scornfully dismiss people who said that the GOP was a safe haven for racists and similar types of people. He said that this past couple of years showed him how naive he was. I was watching Morning Joe yesterday and he said something surprising. Just like everything else - the widespread availability of video is making the country aware of things that used to be dismissed as urban legend.
