"Quotes"

Let’s not paint the man as perfect in order to tear him down. Nobody’s saying he was perfect. Eisenhower had a lot of issues, among which he presided over the country at a time where we still had segregated water fountains as a rule, allowed McCarthy’s Red Scare witch hunt to proceed mostly unchecked which destroyed people's lives, of which a byproduct was helping Roy Cohn to notoriety, and that horrible human being was basically a Trump pal and mentor. That said, he was far better viewing government as a tool to improve the societal infrastructure of the country and the lives of the less well off citizens. By today’s republican standards he was a radical socialist.
