In his later life, George Wallace repeatedly repented for his segregationist sins. And many, including some of his former foes, were willing to accept his apologies. Thus, for example, after Wallace's death, civil rights activist, former Freedom Rider, and now congressman John Lewis wrote a New York Times column entitled, "Forgiving George Wallace," which concluded with these words: "George Wallace deserves to be remembered for his effort to redeem his soul and in so doing to mend the fabric of American society."
But CNN commentator Bakari Sellers, it seems, is not the forgiving sort. On Tuesday's New Day, speaking of the use of force to clear protesters prior to President Trump's appearance in front of St. John's Episcopal Church, Sellers said:
"The only thing I could think of was George Wallace is probably looking 'up' at him with a smile."

This CNN commentator consigns George Wallace to Hell, and suggests Pres. Trump deserves to be there with him.
Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.
Apologies: the original link was bad. Here’s the right one:
The Left hates with an unforgiving hate.
How’s Wallace in Hell? The left doesn’t believe in God nor the afterlife.
Like senator KKK democratic senator Byrd looked up at hillary?
In 3 1/2 years, I’ve done much more for our Black population than Joe Biden has done in 43 years. Actually, he set them back big time with his Crime Bill, which he doesn’t even remember. I’ve done more for Black Americans, in fact, than any President in U.S. history, with...— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 3, 2020
....the possible exception of another Republican President, the late, great, Abraham Lincoln...and it’s not even close. The Democrats know this, and so does the Fake News, but they refuse to write or say it because they are inherently corrupt! See “pinned” above.— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 3, 2020
George Wallace was a Democrat
They all hang together
They still honor klansman Robert Byrd
Bill Clinton said there was a point in time when politicians had to join the Klan to win.
Got it the wrong way round.
It was LBJ who called in the National Guard to protect blacks over the objections of George Wallace, just like Trump is threatening to call in the National Guard to stop arnachy, looting, arson and random killings.
History is with Trump on this one.
Does this affirmative action moron understand that George Wallace was a DemocRat?
Best President EVAH.
"Keep the slaves on the Democratic plantation by any means necessary. Lie, cheat, steal...even murder if you have to"
“Segregation now, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever!’’.- George Wallace.
George C. Wallace, among his many faces, was actually a loyal Democrat, but his son, George, Jr., later switched parties.
Childish. CNN has no objectivity at all. This is why race relations will never get better in this country. It will only be exploited by democrats for political purposes.
Is it weird to anyone else that George Floyd was murdered in a state that is led by Democrat senators, 5 out of 8 Democrat Congressmen, a Democrat Governor. In a City that has a Democrat mayor by a Cop who was hired by a black chief of police but it’s Donald Trump’s fault?
Well, at least President Trump has distracted Bakari Sellers from his main hobby of child sex trafficking for a short time...
Nobody in hell smiles.
Wanna bet Bakari Sellers mom was a rum and coke lover.;-)
