White House press secretary Jen Psaki claimed Friday that President Biden didn’t intend to offend senators by likening them to George Wallace, Bull Connor and Jefferson Davis — but simply meant to compare their actions to those of the infamous white supremacists.

Psaki was pressed at her regular briefing about Biden’s fiery rhetoric at a Tuesday speech in Atlanta, which unsuccessfully sought to convince Democratic senators to set aside the 60-vote legislative filibuster and pass election reforms with a bare majority.

In the book The Bidens: Inside the First Family’s Fifty-Year Rise to Power Hardcover by Ben Schreckinger, we learn Joe Biden is a package deal. The endless tight-knit Biden family—siblings, children, in-laws, and beyond, came right along with him........and details about the cozy “Delaware Way” of conducting politics.

“White House press secretary Jen Psaki claimed Friday that President Biden didn't intend to offend senators by likening them to George Wallace, Bull Connor and Jefferson Davis — but simply meant to compare their actions to those of the infamous white supremacists.”

I don't understand why Biden contrasted George Wallace with Abraham Lincoln. It didn't do Biden any good. Or Lincoln either.

Wallace supported “separate but equal” segregation.

Lincoln was an outright white supremacist by his own admission.

George Wallace was a hundred years ahead of Lincoln in terms of race relations. Wallace never, to my knowledge, advocated sending black people back to Africa.

Remember all the times that the LAAP-dog media would hound President Trump to denounce white supremacists despite him having done so over and over, no matter what his press secretary said?

The conservative press should demand to hear Biden himself explain what he meant, and apologize to Senators if necessary. No more hiding behind Psaki to clean up his messes.

There’s a newspaper clipping on the web that basically says Wallace thought highly of Biden. Lol. (I don’t know how to post pics here).

I think it is hilarious that he used George Wallace, Bull Connor, and Jefferson Davis because they were all Democrats!

Classic example of “I’m not really sorry. I’m just trying to change your mind’’. What a bitch.

Psaki. This is the chick who stole your boyfriend a week before the senior prom just because she could.
