Jimmy Carter, a Southern Baptist, was elected President in 1976.
His church was specifically set up in the 1840s when southern Baptists seceded to protect black slavery. IOW, a position far more activist in racism than the Mormons, who were generally at least opposed to slavery.
Many of the SBC’s members and leaders continued to defend racist policies into the 60s and quite possibly up to Jimmuh’s election.
The SBC did not specifically denounce and apologize for its racist past till 1995, 150 years after its foundation to defend slavery and long after Jimmuh was out of office.
Yet I recall little criticism of Jimmuh for being associated with a “racist church.”
The president in 1995 was Bill Clinton, also a Southern Baptist. I don’t recall the racist past of his denomination being an issue in 1991, 4 years before its apology.
A very distant past, and Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton were mere church members.
Mitt Romney is Mormon royalty, he was the equivalent of a Catholic Bishop, Mitt has excommunicated people for weak faith, and Mitt was teaching racism while the rest of us were watching Star Wars, and Jim Belushi in Animal House.
This is current, modern racism, and black Mormons died in Vietnam while white Mormons were protected.
