Warner Blasts NAACP Flap As a 'Setup'

"(I)n the afterglow of victory, (John) Warner last week said that he was set up during negotiations with the (Virginia NAACP) ... that the group backtracked at the last moment on an agreement that he would be introduced on camera by the president of Hampton University, a traditionally black college. He said that reversal prompted (Lyn) William's outburst, and the resulting flap" (Virginia Notebook, Washington Post, November 14, 1996).

Lyn Williams had been fired by John Warner after he had acknowledged using a racial epithet in pre-debate negotiations.
