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.

And the Dems didn’t mean to offend Congressmen by calling them “bigots”.

Maybe the Left has a bad case of Tourette Syndrome and this stuff just spews out of them.

Like the Kennedys before them, the Bidens are a tight-knit, idealistic Irish Catholic clan with dynastic ambitions, and serious personal problems.

As the book, “THE BIDENS” reveals, the best way to understand Joe Biden—his values, fears, and motives—is to understand his family: Their Irish (and not-so-Irish) roots, their place in the Delaware pecking order, their dodgy business deals, and their personal struggles and triumphs alike.

From the book The Bidens: Inside the First Family’s Fifty-Year Rise to Power Hardcover by Ben Schreckinger

Americans did not just elect Joe Biden: They got a package deal. The endless tight-knit Biden family—siblings, children, in-laws, and beyond, came right along with him.......sure to play a defining role in his presidency, just as they have in every other one of his endeavors.

Stories and revelations about the Biden family, include:

Joe’s childhood, the stunning 1972 Senate upset engineered by his sister Valerie who became a multi millionaire in the process.

Joe’s early years in the Senate and his role in the creation of the cozy “Delaware Way” of conducting politics......

The Biden brothers’ business escapades, including the ’70s rock club rivalry that pitted Jim Biden against Jill’s first husband and ended in a banking scandal

The Delaware lawman who oversaw an FBI investigation into Joe’s 2007 campaign fundraising and now has Hunter in his sights

The contents of “Hunters Laptop from Hell” to the New York Post.

New evidence that sheds light on the authenticity of Hunter’s alleged computer files.

Given that the people he compared the republican senators to were all Democrats, he owes them (and his intended audience) a bigger apology than mere calling them racists would require.

Damn the left and their history revisionism.

Hey, maybe that is why they wanted to tear down all the statues.... They were tearing down statues of Democrats; Didn’t want them up there for people to maybe ask questions!

They aren’t racists, they just act like racists.

Joe meant it as a term of endearment. Everyone knows some of his best friends have been bigots, racists, progressives, segregationists and Klan Kleagles.

I could see that speech really disturbed Mitch.
He still expects to take the nutty things Biden says as serious statements.

Biden’s speeches reveal what he thinks of Americans.

He is deeply disappointed in the country and annoyed with those who live here.

Biden doesn’t cajole voters. He harangues and berates them. He patronizes them and issues threats. You cause the corona pandemic. You’re stupid and selfish.

During his entire first year in office, Joe Biden did virtually nothing to improve the actual lives of actual American citizens. And he didn’t because he didn’t even really try.

Making voters happy is not a feature of the Biden equity agenda. Punishment is the point of the equity agenda, inflicting pain on the right people, dispensing rough justice, meting out reparations by other names.

Jen said she thought the fact that many did not like Biden’s last speech was ‘hilarious!’

Psaki said, “Biden was very respectful to the racist, Nazi, Ku Klux Klan, fascist pig members of the Senate.”

Yeah, the BB was my first thought.

Sounds like somebody snuck a little starch into McConnell’s backbone:


“I did not recognize the man at that podium yesterday,” said McConnell, who added that Biden’s remarks amounted to “shouting that 52 senators and millions of Americans are racist unless he gets whatever he wants.”

Meanwhile, Pierre Delecto is the same old craven snake in the grass:


Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) said that Biden was going “down the same tragic road taken by President Trump casting doubt on the reliability of American elections.”

I detest most of the Kennedy clan but to their credit no one has ever accused them of incestual acts like Biden’s daughter did with Joe.
