Ah... a grandson of the notorious, communist-leaning former VP Henry Wallace.
Over the last 10 years, I’ve read quite a bit about Henry A Wallace. In some respects, he was a remarkable man - when it came to ag-related matters. He was the father of corn hybridization as well as responsible farming techniques that helped reduce erosion and improve yields.
His politics were Far Left - far enough that even FDR subtly found a way to remove him from the 1944 ticket. I never viewed Wallace as a Communist sympathizer or even a Communist himself. But during his Progressive Party run for the White House in 1948, he unfortunately surrounded himself with a number of fellow travelers who had bad influence over him. He refused to repudiate them and that hurt him immensely.
In later years, he wrote an article for a magazine in which he basically said that he was duped by the Russians while he was VP and didn’t realize the extent of how bad Stalin really was. The article was entitled “Where I Was Wrong”.
He walked away from the Progressive Party in in 1956, endorsed Eisenhower and in 1960, endorsed Nixon. For the remainder of his life, he considered himself an anti-Communist. At the end of his life, he allowed himself to be used more or less as a medical guinea pig so that doctors could hopefully treat ALS (which he contracted) for future generations.
I can’t say with 100% certainty but I think he’d be appalled at what his grandson was saying and doing.
There, I fixed it for you.
