You have to go back over a hundred years for a comparable? And even then it rings false. Trump has brought the leadership [Breitbart] of the white nationalist movement to top of his campaign -meaning they will be in the WH. You can't say that about Wilson. In terms of what you did say: http://www.nytimes.com/2016/04/07/opinion/woodrow-wilson-and-the-klan.html?_r=0 This far-fetched statement seems to be based on a claim, first made in > 1937, 13 years after Wilson’s death, that he said of the 1915 movie “Birth > of a Nation”: “It’s like writing history with lightning. And my only regret > is that it is all so terribly true.” > > Both of Wilson’s most recent biographers conclude that the quotation is > almost certainly apocryphal. What Wilson did unquestionably write about the > film, in 1918, was that “I have always felt that this was a very > unfortunate production, and I wish most sincerely that its production might > be avoided, particularly in communities where there are so many colored > people.” > > At any rate, praising the film — which was, despite its odious content, an > extraordinary technical achievement in cinema — hardly implies admiration > for the Klan. > Like Vijay P with his "we came, we saw, we killed" misquote, You are distorting history to promote a Trump presidency so please don't try to teach history to me.
