I was somewhat puzzled by the weekend article entitled, ‘Apprehension and Reconciliation in the Deep South’ written by your L.A. bureau chief, Christopher Grimes. Was it a family travelogue where the absent son returns to his roots and reconciles with family over the political divide or, was it just another political hit piece? My reading suggest the latter as most of the article focussed on the Republican candidate Herschel Walker with a guilty by association with Trump verdict. There was no context to the article outlining the issues or, any mention of Walkers opponent, Raphael Warnock, who has an even more interesting history. It seems clear to me that Mr Grimes resignation from ‘nuance and soft reasoning’ extends to his political views. Perhaps he should leave the L.A bubble more often and reconnect with the real world.
