Joe Biden: ‘When I came to the U.S. Senate 120 years ago’
Sara Carter.com ^ | 3/25/2021 | Jennie Taer

Speaking on the future of the filibuster at the first press conference of his presidency, President Joe Biden, 78, said he came to the Senate “120 years ago.”

“With regard to the filibuster, I believe we should go back to the position of the filibuster that existed just when I came to the United State’s Senate 120 years ago.”

Biden became a Senator when he was 29 and served for 36 years.

Many top Democrats have argued that the filibuster is a ‘racist’ practice and have advocated for its demise. Republicans, like Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, however, say that argument is meant “to justify a partisan power grab in the present.”

Biden has made it a priority to fight the filibuster.

This is getting out of hand. His wife Jill needs to be held accountable, for putting the country through this.

I have to laugh at the liberal/communist MSM there is no mention of it. They must be talking about it in there offices. They can't hide it anymore.

“With regard to the filibuster, I believe we should go back to the position of the filibuster that existed just when I came to the United State’s Senate 120 years ago.”

Probably meant as a planned joke. Cringe in a different way.

And that’s why I’m going to support Biden for re-election: because he personally knew Theodore Roosevelt.

DANG!

He's used the "120 years ago" phrase before.

SloJoe - or more likely, his handlers - must've focus-grouped it and determined it's a good way to show some self-deprecating humor from the dolt.

Reagan knew how to tell a joke about his age. With Biden, it is hard to tell if he is joking or not.

Not a bad idea, but they needed to tell Joe about it, because he just reads the page that he’s supposed to.

Senators are required to be at least 35 years of age. Pedo Joe is claiming to be over 155 years old.

So did I, however, no one in the room laughed or reacted to it in any way.
