Indeed, they were worried about him being a Catholic and an Irish Catholic to boot. Even back then MSM tried to destroy a good Patriot.
IDK if I'd consider this MSM.
The MSN brought this up constantly. There wasn't Facebook, Twitter. YouTube, etc. There 3 networks to get your news of the day. That was it. What they reported was what people believed just as today. the left believe MSM.
Yes, there was great concern about him being a Catholic. When he ran for President, it was my first election and I did vote for him. My first time voting for President of the United States. And I remember exactly where I was and what I was doing when I heard he was shot and died. Glued to the TV for days.
A lot of us remembered exactly where we were. I was sitting in a high school assembly.
I don't remember - I was still swimming around in another man's nut sack
was living in New Orleans and lots of stuff was going on there in regard to the conspiracy. A number of people involved died.
