Throwing General Butler under the bus now?

You went from "what he said in a time when a real general spoke his mind" to what "Smedley didn't mention...because he was running for the senate at the time."
Smooth transition!

By the time Butler ran for the Senate in 1932, his antagonism toward big business
and anti Wall Street rhetoric was so well known, he was an embarrassment to the
Hoover administration. In your estimation, what exactly was the general hiding
because of his run for office?
