Respected Politicians Who Were Actually Terrible People

Believe it or not, famous politicians aren't always the best people in private life. In fact, the world has a long history of elevating men and women to power who don't have good intentions or healthy moral compasses. Many of these individuals do things that benefit the world, so the history books forgive their failings. Sometimes, their actions are simply forgotten about, brushed under the rug since their time in the spotlight. We're left to rediscover their misdeeds. Some of these politicians were racists, others criminal. Still others had people killed to promote their own political interests. Here are some respected politicians who were actually terrible people.

Johnson was frustrated by Wilson's refusal to actively support US in Vietnam. Apparently so much it was rumoured that he even asked Wilson to just send a token response even a pipe band. Wilson was no fool and was nursing a wafer thin majority in Parliament. He knew that any support,no matter how token, would alienate the left wingers in his cabinet and he needed their support to survive. Wilson could be accused of many things, but he was no fool and he refused point blank. History proved him right

LBJ knew it was coming and did nothing. My SF State teacher Dr Windes, whose class I was in that day, explain the inside story and said that LBJ arranged the trip to his home state Texas to get JFK in the line of fire so LBJ could be the next President

[@blackbaron2572]

@@bobkurtz2816 umm. Maybe. I seriously doubt it. Never seen a shred if evidence t I back this up. Plus why would he have to bring Kennedy to Texas. I know it's his home state, but so what? If he's powerful enough to pull off something like that he gouda done it in.....Virginia. or Illinois. Ir something

[@bobkurtz2816]

@@blackbaron2572 Dr. Windes was an excellent source as he was the main speech writer for Adlai Stevenson in 1952, 1956 and 1960. He had inside information that he shared with me in something more that a student-teacher relationship. It has to do with his information of the inner government that still runs the country to this day. I am having a senior moment at this time (82) but will share more if you want later. Basically LBJ had to get JFK to Texas where he had total control, it would not have succeeded anywhere else. The grassy knoll guys are the true killers, Oswald was just a 'patsy'

The Civil Rights Act of 1964. Its passage in July of that year was the culmination of a long political struggle that played out on Capitol Hill. When he signed the bill, President Lyndon Johnson reportedly said that Democrats would, as a result, lose the South for a generation. It's been longer than that.

I agree, many that had racist views in the turn of the last century. In High School in the 70's we called guys Queers and being gay was an insult. As far as being plain racist, we hung out with people of all races. But we still joked at each other about it. I had a friend from Hawaii, that was Samoan, he said that in Hawaii that they ate White People.
