2. Pretty good but I have two complaints

I wasn't of an age to really be into politics back then but yes Robb and Wilder didn't like each other at all.

First, comparing massive resistance to the Klan and coming to the conclusion that the former was more "respectable" is wrong. There was nothing respectable about Byrd or massive resistance. Prince Edward County a party in Brown v Board and from what I understand the situation there still hasn't changed much.

Secondly, unless the author has some inside info (which he may have) Fairfax has not in anyway suggested that Northam has been behind or orchestrated the charges against him. This is pure rightwing talk radio pablum and seed planting.
