“I think we just delivered the South to the Republican party for a long time to come”

Did LBJ really say this?

Maybe yes, maybe no. Bill Moyers claims he did.

If you Google it, you will likely find two types of results: those that use the quote without citation, and those that say it’s a myth.

Some of those who claim it’s a myth will say that attributing the quote to Bill Moyers is also false.

I went to the library and checked out Bill Moyer’s book.

On page 167: I asked him what was troubling him. “I think we just delivered the South to the Republican party for a long time to come,” he said.

So I don’t know if Lyndon actually said it, but Bill Moyers was there, and he tells us Lyndon did.

My wife says I have too much time on my hands, but I say this is the only way we will save our country from dezinformatsiya.
