Wasn’t this publicity supposedly in retaliation for Bush I using Willy Horton against Dukakis, even though Texas (Bush II) moved swiftly in prosecuting the White Guys?
‘Team Bush’ was the one that exploited Horton but Al Gore first brought the subject up in the D primary - without mentioning Horton’s name - just referring to the furlough program.
Ironically, an R Governor in Mass started the plan and Dukalis kept it alive and eventually shut it down under pressure.
Duke was bad enough but this Horton thing seemed to be the ‘straw that broke the camels back’.
