Washington Post: Wallace & Trump

 You'll need a subscription to The Post to read the excellent article comparing former Governor George Wallace and Former president Donald Trump, but it includes this:


"(Matt) Holt (who witnessed Wallace being shot) takes a harsher view of the 45th president, who he says “took a bunch of uneducated people and played them.” Although he calls himself an independent, he says he has voted for Democratic presidential candidates since 1996.


 

But he still defends his support for Wallace, for the same reasons he formulated as a 14-year-old: He liked the rhetoric about standing up for the little guy and believed the Alabama governor’s claim that he wasn’t racist"
