Eye-catching .gifs notwithstanding, this PolitiFact article, not surprisingly, never mentions historian Paul Kengor, who is the primary researcher of this issue and who, in point of fact, corresponded with the late senator's office regarding it. The office merely disputed the "interpretation" of the letter.
If you look hard enough, you can find another PolitiFact article that grudgingly includes Kengor, without questioning his conclusion, down near the bottom (of course) of a lengthy piece.
Whataboutism is pretty handy for pointing out rank hypocrisy.
