Yup RFK did the wiretaps and ready for this Carter once ran as a segragationist.
Unaccustomed as I am to playing the part of a Carter apologist, I feel obliged to mention that in segregated GA of that time Carter would have had zero chances of winning an election for Plains dogcatcher if he had run as anything other than a segregationist.
The same thing applies to other GA Democrats of much greater ability and worth to the nation than Carter, men such as Senators Carl Vinson and Sam Nunn for 2 examples. Of course those men represented GA before Democrat intra-party politics degenerated into a contest to see which candidate can sink to the lowest level of moral depravity in order to be nominated by the national Democrat party.
