In 1999, Gore became the subject of criticism by AIDS activists. According to a June 18, 1999 article in the Washington Post the activists said that "Gore, in talks with South African President Thabo Mbeki, has threatened trade sanctions if South Africa permits the widespread sale of cheaper, generic drugs that would cut into U.S. companies' sales." Gore responded by stating, "I love this country. I love the First Amendment [...] Let me say in response to those who may have chosen an inappropriate way to make their point, that actually the crisis of AIDS in Africa is one that should command the attention of people in the United States and around the world."[58]

Albert Arnold Gore, Jr., was born in Washington, D.C., on March 31, 1948, into a political family. His father, Albert Gore, Sr., spent 32 years in Washington, D.C., as a representative and senator from Tennessee. Pauline Gore, his mother, was an astute political thinker and an important adviser to her husband. Both of Gore’s parents came from poor families in rural Tennessee. During the Great Depression of the 1930s they were ardent supporters of Democratic president Franklin D. Roosevelt and his New Deal policies. Many of the positions the younger Gore took during his own political career, on issues such as the environment, arms control, and civil rights, were heavily influenced by his liberal parents.
