If it is documented and sourced. Just saying “it came from a book” isn’t enough (Rush Limbaugh was just smeared on alleged racist quotes “from a book” that weren’t documented, and were demonstrably false).
I also would be interested in knowing if Jr. was a registered Republican (I’ve seen no documentation) from the period of 1950-1960 in either AL or GA. Did he vote for Ike or Stevenson in ‘52 if he was registered ? If he did vote for Ike in ‘56, as did Congressman Powell, it may have simply been a one-time situation, before reverting back to usual Dem habits. But as we know, he certainly was no Republican for the ‘60s.
Ike was a RINO.
