He could have given a more nuanced answer and not caused any controversy at all.

No amount of nuance will satisfy the leftists. The civil rights bill of 1964 is sacred text to them.

“No amount of nuance will satisfy the leftists. The civil rights bill of 1964 is sacred text to them.”

Not true. He just needed to say what he’s said since the controversy erupted:

“I support the Civil Rights Act because I overwhelmingly agree with the intent of the legislation, which was to stop discrimination in the public sphere and halt the abhorrent practice of segregation and Jim Crow laws,” he said. Later, in an interview on CNN, he said that if he had been in the Senate in 1964, he would have supported the act.”

Would that have been so hard?
