14. He was still convicted! That matters. He will have to accept a pardon from a fascist! That matters!

This will be attached to him for all time. He will go down in history just as the other racist shitbags have. Again, that matters. He is small potatoes and people will be pissing on his grave soon. He is old, mean, nasty and not long for this world. This is false victory for pretend human. Nothing more.
