“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.

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).
