PBS calls racist Democrat a Republican

Newsbusters:

On Thursday evening, PBS NewsHour displayed the latest example of journalists and other liberals suggesting that segregationist former Alabama Governor George Wallace was a Republican when he, in fact, was a lifelong Democrat.

In a pre-recorded piece by correspondent Yamiche Alcindor about criticism President Donald Trump is receiving over racial issues, at one point, Alcindor went to liberal MSNBC contributor Eddie Glaude and cued up his claims that "many Republican leaders" have exploited racism in the past.

Here's Alcindor: "Glaude says the bigger picture is that Trump is using race to stoke fear like many Republican leaders before him."

Then came a clip of Glaude claiming that there has long been a "Republican strategy" of "appealing to white resentment," and singled out Ronald Reagan and Wallace, as if Wallace were a Republican:

EDDIE GLAUDE, MSNBC CONTRIBUTOR: I think the idea of appealing to white resentment and white fears, drawing on a particular understanding of America as fundamentally white, that that language has been a part of Republican strategy since I remember remembering, right? It's been a part of my political reality ever since I became aware of American politics. So he sits somewhere on the spectrum between Ronald Reagan and George Wallace.

Not only was Wallace a lifelong Democrat, but when Reagan ran for President in 1980, his opponent, Democratic President Jimmy Carter, made a campaign appearance with Wallace and other (reformed) prominent segregationist Democrats.

And, in 1984, when President Reagan ran for reelection, Democratic nominee Walter Mondale met with Wallace during the campaign....

Democrats and the media routinely lie about Republicans and ignore their own history of racism.  It is what they do to fool black voters into supporting Democrats.  It is a central part of their politics of fraud.  The media is in on the scam.
