Biden on minority support: 'I was raised in the black church'

DES MOINES, Iowa — Joe Biden spoke of his connection to black voters at an NAACP event Sunday afternoon and claimed his “political identity” was molded by minorities in his home state of Delaware.

“I have a lot of black support because that’s where I come from. I was raised in the black church, politically, not a joke,” the former vice president said in Des Moines. “When I got into politics, I was the only white guy working on the east side, in the projects, because these were the guys I grew up with. These were the guys I worked with.”

Biden addressed a packed room of roughly 100 people, mostly white, at a minority outreach organization called Urban Dreams. Although he appeared roughly 30 minutes after his start, attendees continued trickling in before he addressed the crowd.

He spoke extensively on his consistent support from black Democrats, which a number of polls show back him by double-digits over his rivals. That consistent support, Biden said, was because of his decades-long relationship with black voters that started when he was a city council member in Wilmington, Delaware. During his time as a local politician, Biden said he would “go to a black church after regular mass every Sunday.”

A week ago Sunday I attended the funeral of a retired coworker. He was black; so were the four hundred people in attendance with the exception of myself. No one seemed to notice.

When I emerged after the service, I was still white.

Biden is taking phony to new lows.

I hope he’s seen “Blazing Saddles” and starts telling us the time he was a black sheriff in a racist town.

The sheriff is near!

So what? Trump hired thousands of black construction workers to build his magnificent properties. Does he brag about that?

Slow Joe never hired anybody because he’s ALWAYS been nothing but a political leech living off OUR backs.
