I don’t need a flashback to know that

It is a wasted post. Why not just start reposting news from the 1889s about the KKK? Same logic

Aside from the fact this is from 1997; I find that the title of this article is completely incomprehensible.

I only came here for the confusing title and the fact this is 20 years old. I guess I fell for it.

It’s an important article. Hevesi is now a felon. He almost was mayor of New York in 2001.
