| | + | ====Orval Faubus==== |
| | + | In June 1974, a few months before Clinton would narrowly lose his congressional bid, he sat down for an interview with an oral history project.<ref>https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/hillary-clinton-reconstruction_us_56a7f9c3e4b04936c0e8a6c9</ref> Reaching out to the notorious segregationist was just good politics, he told the interviewers. |
| | + | |
| | + | “When did you build this friendship with Faubus?” one asked. |
| | + | |
| | + | “When I got ready to run for Congress,” Clinton answered. |
| | + | |
| | + | “But wouldn’t he be the last guy to go see, represented the old time machine?” the interviewer pressed. |
| | + | |
| | + | “No, no. See, that’s why I got elected. Because I don’t do things — I don’t think in terms of that,” Clinton said. |
| | + | |
| | + | “But wouldn’t the liberal mind, whatever it is in this district, think that way?” |
| | + | |
| | + | “Well, the liberal mind might, but I don’t have a liberal mind, I guess, if that’s the way they think. It’s a matter of politics and how you get votes,” Clinton said of doing his dance with white supremacists. “Faubus has a fine mind and a lot of influence in these hills, these people, and knows things that are worth knowing. The reason that they will vote for me, if they do, the people, even if they think that I’m liberal, whatever that is, is that I’ll sit down with all these people and talk to them.” |
