Jesse supported tobacco because it got him elected, often. Yeah. I'm so proud of a bigot who helped promote cancer. A great patriot you say? A patriot is beloved by most people across political and racial divides. That man created the divides and exploited them. A patriot acts for the COMMON GOOD; Jesse promoted division for personal profit. I did not disagree with everything he stood for, but certainly these issues are clear as day. Since when is hate an American value?
