FDR. The republicans threw every name in the book at FDR. They called him a traitor to the country, a traitor to his class, a communist and a whole book of crap. They even tried to overthrow the FDR administration and congress. Look up General Smedley Butler. They wanted him to lead troops on the capitol to take over everything. General Butler blew the lid off the whole conspiracy. Their hate for anyone who does not have at minimum a multi millionaire bank account is glaringly obvious if people would just open their minds and eyes.
