George H.W. Bush's "Willie Horton" Ad Will Always Be the Reference Point for Dog Whistle Racism
Rachel Withers, Vox
Withers writes: "George H.W. Bush, the one-term president who died on Friday at age 94, is often overlooked by history, despite having presided over the last truly bipartisan 'grand bargain' and the end of the Cold War.
