I've been to South Carolina many times.

I was just surprised that because the man was in politics preaching about segregation and spewing KKK rhetoric, all while keeping a close eye and having interest in his daughter's life. You figured some opponent would have exposed it.
He ran one of the most openly racist presidential campaigns ever in 1948 after Truman desegregated the military by executive order... and he had a black daughter on the low :beli:

That's what I'm saying though.

They didn't have Karl Rove's or Lee Atwater's back then?

Someone could have exposed him if it was common knowledge.

In antebellum times, it was common knowledge that white boys used to test their sexual skills on the young black maid.
You can bet that shyt wasn't consentual :aicmon:

Understood.

What does that have to do with the question I raised?
It's been addressed already.
Plus, there was no internet around... Besides, democrats didn't have a Lee Arwater equivalent.
The only one who could've exposed him was that woman (or her mom before she died). Even her kids didn't know about it until she came out right after his death.
