Haha. Washington was pilloried in the partisan press of the 1790s, Lincoln was, uh, *murdered* by a white supremacist political enemy, but only after he literally dispensed millions of acres of free federal land to foster greater economic equality...but sure Bill, sure.
Here’s a political cartoon from the 1860 election where Lincoln’s opponents use many of the same anti-progressive talking points we see today on Fox News. loc.gov/pictures/item/…
Sexual immorality, women’s rights advocates run amok, pro-criminal immigrants, godless socialism, racial radicalism. These are the things Lincoln was accused of endorsing in 1860. Sound familiar?
Just wait till Bill finds out that the foreign correspondent for one of the leading Republican newspapers of the 1850s was Karl Marx. americanheritage.com/when-karl-marx…
I’m still waiting for the @gop to renounce Lincoln and his scandalous links to Karl Marx!
