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?
I'd say yes because 24 is old enough to know better. But what if they have a life changing event and they come out against such things?
Hard questions.
But I agree that seeing if they have "changed" is one way to judge it.
In this particular case he may have changed, but his reaction/response to the image makes it seem he should step down.

Your anger and ego will always reveal your true self.
