You have to look at how a person is living his life now to judge him.
Seems the same people who argue that a felon should get his voting rights back after spending several years in prison don't think a guy can have an elected position 40 years after adopting a racist symbol. There are not any even any allegations that he was actually a member of the Klan or was a white supremist activist or took part in any demonstrations. It just looks like he went to a very stupid party.
If a 24 year old was to wear a white power t shirt today would you say he could never hold an elected office for the rest of their life?
