GOP Scion Denounces Rightists Blamed for Kennedy Killing
Senator Milward Simpson charged that rightists and conservatives are being blamed for Kennedy's assassination by politically opportunistic voices. He condemned blaming Dallas as a city and urged focus on genuine national grief rather than partisan blame. The House GOP Policy Committee echoed concerns about divisive rhetoric and warned against inflaming American tensions. Simpson urged inquiry into whether government pursued windmills in Don Quixote fashion while leftist dangers festered. The House GOP statement attributed the killer's hatred to communism teachings.
