Sabonjian quoted Hyde from a conversation they had in the Democratic (now Hyde's) HQ after the November Election Where Hyde stated 'there are no more good people left in Waukegan. All the good whites, all the good blacks and all the good mexicans have moved'.
After that, Libby allwoed the discussion to continue for several minutes, but Hyde never refuted or denied that he made the statement.
Yesterday, Libby stated that she thought it was inappropriate and that Sabonjian 'crossed the line' by telling people what
Hyde had said.
She didn't ask Hyde if it was true or not but did allow him plenty of opportunity to deny it, but he never did.
My thought is that just because something may be conrtroversial, doesn't mean it's not true and knowing Hyde as I do, it doesn't surprise me at all that he said something like that.
I've heard him say much, much worse about blacks, mexicans, puerto ricans and women.
