Modern left-wing propagandists occasionally engage in spurious designation Connor as a "right-winger"/"conservative," entirely ignoring his history of supporting the New Deal and various economic progressive reforms. The liberal media outlet ''[[Salon]]'', blaming "conservatives" for racism, modified a quote by Connor to create a false equivalence between the peaceful, patriotic civil rights activism of the 1960s and contemporary neo-Marxist woke ideology.<ref>Elfenbein, Caleb (August 6, 2023).
