In 90s?? wasn't there a MO Gov running for Senate when pics of him in blackface surfaced??
IIRC he was a dem and was killed in an accident before the election. His wife was able to run (don't recall how that worked) and she became senator. Or was it--oh, look stupid dems elect dead guy----and his wife was appointed to the senate seat he had won?
He was being attacked for his blackface past, and then his death sorta cancelled that out.
IIRC he and his friends did a minstrel type thing in college,
Is my memory anywhere close. Or is this another senior moment for me?
