Jackie Robinson was Republican and good friend of Gov Nelson Rockefeller
“”Jackie Robinson was Republican and good friend of Gov Nelson Rockefeller””
He did work for Rockefeller...he switched parties whenever he could see a candidate wasn’t interested in civil rights or pursuing them and again he didn’t make a big show of it. Very low key and got his message across quite well without riots.
He backed Nixon then switched to Goldwater and then to Rockefeller...Hated Kennedy but when Senator Robert Kennedy intervened in the south, supported JFK...
