Funny how we're supposed to ignore that Democratic voters put a KKK leader in the Senate for 5 decades, but pay attention to this.

How old was he when he recanted? Did he confess to making a really bad error in judgement? He said he stopped paying dues in 1952.

Was he a KKK member each and every time he ran for office?

Did West Virginia keep electing a KKK member?

What does that say about West Virginia?

Walk him forward, and you only have to go through ONE person to get to the two black students in the foreground of the picture.

What exactly do you want done? Jerry has talked about the photo. As far as we know he was just there observing what was going on. Its good we live now in a world where this sort of thing is not happening.

Some libs want to drag him through the street and throw him in jail. Yet have no problem with Jesse Jackson, Louis Farrakhan, Robert Byrd, Bill Ayers, etc….

I don't know if anyone else noticed, or that it makes a big difference, but the date is Sept 9th and Jerry didn't turn 15 until Oct 13th. I guess WAPO might feel bad picking on a 14 year old. They do have a history of it when the teen is white. Might as well tack on an extra year to his age.

As anyone can see, Jerry is in the back, craning his neck to see what's happening. Half the crowd seems to be journalists much closer to the situation than Jones was. There seems to be a few students involved, with most others just standing around looking.

The Washington Post saying that Jones "blocked the path of six Black students attempting to desegregate the school" is just flat out false.

Sometimes when you show your ass you can't take it back.

Its ok to have the discussion of how things were in the lifetime many older people today. Quite shocking how people were back then. Singling out 14yo Jerry Jones for simply being in a picture is silly.

In my middle school in the mid 70's school busing was going on in Los Angeles and we had fights break out to the point the school was closed for a week and local news went out there. They would bus black and hispanic kids half way across town at the crack of dawn to attend a school where the white kids lived and had a short ride to school. That was considered making schools fair for minority children. It was anything but.

The woke are now judging someone for doing something 60 years ago when they were a teenager. They really think got something, with this one.

One media outlet even went so far as to retrace his possible steps in getting to that position in the photograph, insinuating that to get to that particular spot would have taken effort and could only have meant he was willing to participate in blocking the students from entering. Ludicrous.

No different than today, when adults use their influence to fill the heads of impressionable kids with thoughts and ideas. Children are susceptible to thought control and are easily manipulated. It's silly to try and hold a grown man responsible for his actions as an emotional 15 year old kid, 60 years ago. But this is cancel culture today. I feel sorry for people in the future, who will have 60 year old tweets and tik-tok videos thrown in their faces, in order to destroy their lives.
