I made an innocent factual error about a former Democratic president, an error I corrected when it was pointe out to me, because I'm not the sort of person who refuses to acknowledge error.

My larger point stands:

There is nothing new in the Democratic Party funding and even recruiting antichoice candidates.

It's deeply wrong that the party does that, but it's not like they didn't come up with the idea until this year.
