I think his opposition to desegregation bussing in the 70's is going to be more problematic than his calls for civility towards the uncivil. Calling for civility toward the uncivil is the existential dilemma of liberalism.
I'll giggle if it tanks him since his opposition turned out to be factually accurate on every level, even if he'd only assumed it as political cover. A scant 4% of whites and 9% of blacks, at the time, supported the practice - as he faced reelection.
His objection being that it wouldn't work, was a racist policy of tokenism and tacit white supremacy, and parents were against it. I believe that his exact words were 'liberal trainwreck". It's actually pretty hard to argue against his objection, as anyone who's read up on the subject (or even watched an episode of last week tonight) might be aware.
