The same FDR who turned away a shipload of Holocaust refugees and sent them back to Europe. Exactly. I am just awake, and having trouble putting my thoughts together this morning. I should have posted examples of FDR's true record re: Jews and the Holocaust, but I'm in brain-lock.

FDR would have let them in, but he was viscerally opposed by southern Democrats and isolationists in the Senate who didn't want the refugees coming into their country.
