Honestly, a lot of us didn’t know better and the media framing made it seem like it was her. I didn’t personally know about his history at the time, and it was a lot harder to find that info before the Internet was widespread. It was known in certain circles but honestly I don’t blame a regular person for not knowing or understanding at the time. A lot of us still only got an hour of news plus whatever late night comedians said.
I do, however, blame pretty much all of the media.
Side note: while I’m glad this shit is coming to light, I miss the days when news didn’t dominate my day. I probably need another break but right now I’m scared shitless I’ll be wandering around not knowing if people who wear blue shirts or something will be put in a concentration camp.
