The late Paul Weyrich founder of Free Congress Foundation likely had more to do with Lott’s long term frustrations and him not being trusted by Conservatives LOL. Weyrich was among the first to begin sounding warnings about Lott back in the late 1990’s shortly after Lott took over as SML and began cutting deals with the left. Paul Weyrich had started up a Conservative format television network called National Empowerment Television. Weyrich would almost daily blow a gasket on air about Lott’s antics.
I’ve seen the early days of National Empowerment Television on YouTube truly remarkable stuff. Also there’s the Round Table which wad hosted by the late Howard Phillips it it also had great guest and the stuff is also on YouTube.
