That paragon of Democratic presidency, Woodrow Wilson, faced with a similar terrorist dilemma, deported radicals to Europe. It followed Palmer raids and was part of the Red Scare. Yet Dems still lionize their guy.
Come to think of it, they still lionize FDR. He sent a shipload of Jewish refugees back to Europe, many to their deaths at the hands of the Nazis.
Today, we’re called deplorables for loving a President who does great things for his country while Democrats cling to presidents doing what they’d call horrible things today.
The politics of personal destruction has evolved into the politics of perpetual partisan destruction.
Spot on.
