Jim Webb admitted under oath that he was a member of the Cosmos Club.The Cosmos Club refused to allow Blacks membership and until 1988 they refused to allow women to become members..
That's okay. He was just experiencing "real life."
Or, is it: "It was tolerated in that culture at the time"?
Whatever it was. Webb isn't responsible for any of it.
We'll have to get the latest excuse from Webb's MommyStreamMedia.
Sorry, you can't make Cosmos Club membership scandalous; it's a high honor here in Washington, and several members of the current administration and other Republican office holders have belonged, themselves. They have certainly accepted black members for at least thirty years, at least since John Walker became Bishop of Washington, and women have been admitted since 1988, as you pointed out.
That dog, as the saying goes, won't hunt.
