Abigail Folger supported Bobby not Gene.


Why did the writers put a McCarthy sticker on her car? Didn't they do enough research? Also Sharon Tate and Roman Polanski had dinner with RFK the night before he was shot. Why couldn't they show that?

Wasn't that shot in the future, after the election where McCarthy ended up being the Democratic candidate? It is not unreasonable for her to support him after RFK'S death.

McCarthy wasn't the Democratic candidate, Humphrey was. Don't you remember from history class?


Here is a refresher course:

Sorry, you are right. What I remember from history class was the campaign cry "Get Clean for Gene!" and Yippies rioting outside the Chicago convention. And apparently, the Democratic candidate was so weak that my Dad (now a Democrat) actually voted for Nixon. To be honest, I realized after following your link that I had been mentally confusing Humphrey with Dewey (who was once falsely headlined to have beaten Truman), and McCarthy with Humphrey.

Isn't it McGovern, not McCarthy?

McGovern was in '72 McCarthy in '68

They have serious fiction injected into this show...take nothing seriously.

How do you know that was her car, and not a visitor's?

Because there were no visitors in that house aside from Steven Parent and his car not parked near the garage.
Also I've seen pictures of the house after the murder. Abigail's car a Bradley sticker on it but no McCarthy sticker. In this show it has both.
