The myths never die, no matter how outrageous and false. The “news” media know it and don’t care, or they deliberately lie. For 20 years we’ve been hearing about how the VP Bush campaign used the Willie Horton ad to rile up racist voters. Never mind that the Bush campaign had no actual hand in creating or distributing that ad. It was just assumed those bad racist Republicans did it, and that was that. Dukakis’s soft on crime record was never an issue to the left.

It was Al Gore who first brought up Willie Horton in the Democrat Primary against Michael Dukakis.

The Willy Horton ad was first used in the 1988 Democrat primary by Al Gore to try to defeat Dukakis.

Thank you, Al!! It was a great ad.
