    That's a good question for liberals considering the way they treat President Trump.

      But it seems to be conservatives who agree with the liberals, the sins do overshadow the legacy!

      LBJ sinned, therefore his legacy is a bad one. MLK committed personal sins, and that overshadows his legacy. Jefferson had slaves so that overshadows his legacy. Washington sinned, therefore his legacy is a bad one.

      It is possible for different and opposed groups to commit the same error.

        I think you need to clarify. This was your reply to this question:

        If I remember correctly you argue that Trump's view of race is not one to be concerned with at all, so in what way would his "views on race" overshadow anything?
        "Yes. President Trump is a huge embarrassment. And it’s an embarrassment to evangelical Christianity that there appear to be so many who will celebrate precisely the aspects that I see Biblically as most lamentable and embarrassing." Southern Baptist leader Albert Mohler Jr.
