LGM Film Club, Part 187: Edwards v. Duke
Edwin Edwards died the other day and we shouldn’t let the loss of such an august champion of clean government pass without discussing it. Here’s the first part of the 1991 debate between Edwards and David Duke, which really was the moment that the Republican Party truly became the White Man’s Party. Edwards won of course, but the ground was sown so that Donald Trump could reap it.
The other parts of the debate are also on YouTube if you are so inclined to see American democracy at its peak.
