Another fun fact: after surviving an assassination attempt, Wallace became a changed man who apologized for his support for segregation and asked for forgiveness from black Americans. Trump survived an assassination attempt and tripled down on anti-immigrant/anti-trans rhetoric. |
Wallace wasn’t grazed by shrapnel. He ended up becoming paraplegic. He also used his wife Lurleen as his proxy due to term limits (at the time, Alabama did not allow more than one consecutive term as governor. She died of cancer. Her husband and her doctor both knew about the cancer but didn’t tell her about it until it was too late to do anything about it.
