"the shylocks... the moneychangers..." _what?_

[@mortalclown3812]

His actual speeches were far more hateful.

[@Soulthinker2007]

Thank you for posting this footage. "Ol Gene" held his venum and I hope there would be a footage of his stump speeches.

[@unitedlibertypaper3578]

My great grandpa knew this man and was an associate for him. Thank you for the footage.

[@unitedlibertypaper3578]

The constitution of state of GA says the Governor of the state and LT Governor of the state have the responsibility to enforce the laws.

[@CheyneStrong]

PLEASE put up more videos of Eugene Talmadge.

[@AtlantaHistoryCenter]

Reminds me of Senator Klaghorn on the old Fred Allen radio show.

"i stole, but i stole for you"-Eugene Talmadge

[@leutianleyva5116]

Not one of Georgia’s finer moments

[@GodfatherXXI]

What the fuck is he talking about?

[@mrExcellent101]

He's talking about currency inflation and extending the governor's term of office. Duh.

[@crepehanger47]

That would be great!

[@AtlantaHistoryCenter]

You're welcome!

[@georgiadawg18]

Nice.

[@gigismith1362]

Reign of Terror????????

[@csd8204]

You must actually know very little about him. An outspoken racist whose policies and influence provided the KKK and other racists virtually free reign with no fear of punishment throughout his tenure.

[@PixieCotton]

Hurry!!!

[@96gfan]

@redhawk99 umm the talmages were great people. My father who is in the Georgia state house spent many times with Herman and found him to be a very Christian man. Now you can say he was racist but you also have to remember times were different back then. So don't call two great men in office a reign of terror.

[@thomaswatson1739]

Times were great back then . We actually had strong leadership . Race is truth we're not equal . Equality is a lie

[@craigacook8360]

Ewell Richardson he was a Christian really. He was a racist and unless his soul was right he's going to hell

[@craigacook8360]

Hamp this man was evil

Please post more...he was a great speaker.

[@mortalclown3812]

Kkkomentators all agree.

[@american1476]

I wish he were president

[@BostonSmitty]

You got Trump, he’s pretty damn close enough.

[@papovka]

@@BostonSmitty Don't compare that warmongering Republican shill to based Talmadge, they're nothing alike!

Such an incredibly based governor. It's a shame we don't have more like him today.

[@Ian64]

he was an extreme white supremacist

Semi-literate people seem to love his ilk. ('Based'.😂)
