More revisionist history crap out of Helen Thomas. At least she admits to being biased, now if she’d only admit to being a habitual liar.
Correct, Brytani!
Early on she mentions that Southern legislators opposed LBJ on the Civil Rights thing. She purposely didn’t bother to mention that they were DEMOCRATS and that it was the Republican legislators who actually pressured LBJ to sign the bill. LBJ was a huge racist and anti-black, but as a politician he realized that CR bill could be his “legacy”.

She repeats that lie in the last paragraph when she implied that Republicans opposed LBJ on his liberal social issues.
