Father Charles and Huey Long Criticize Roosevelt

February 1937.

There are two men criticizing and talking bad about Roosevelt and making it public through the radio for everyone to hear. One of them is a Roman priest, Father Charles Coughlin, and the other is a senator from Louisiana, Huey Long. These two men are using the radio and media to vent their anger at Roosevelt, encouraging others to oppose Roosevelt and his New Deal. At first, Coughlin supported the New Deal but then changed his mind because he believes the New Deal is going too far and it's interfering with big businesses. Long is against it because he doesn't believe the New Deal is doing enough. These men have become loud critics of Roosevelt. I've heard some of the things they've said about Roosevelt and the New Deal and it just makes me so angry. Oh well, let them talk. What ever doesn't kill you only makes you stronger right? Right.
