To Biden you can praise racist Democrats as long as you're civil.

Left means never having to say you’re sorry.

This is the old Biden coming out. If you think Biden is a buffoon, you’re crazy. Back in his Senate days, he’ll cut your heart out while smiling. I think this is his Sista Soulja moment.

The thing is, he was actually making the point that he fought AGAINST them in the Senate .... but then they could sit down afterward and enjoy a meal together.

Somehow in his feeble mind, as long as you don’t agree with them in congress it’s okay to socialize with them afterward.

Another example of the disgustingly incestuous relationships in congress ... particularly the Senate.

Was thinking the same. Is this a calculated, cynical strategy to peel off some white working-class swing voters by presenting himself as politically incorrect and unwilling to be be bullied by race baiters? Is he Machiavellian enough to play that game? Perhaps.

Biden was happier when he was dragging black folks behind his pick up in Scranton.

Hey, that’s what I was told

Why don’t they ever say “Sen. Harris who is black and Sen. Warren who is white”...?

The Left has slipped so far into its “woke” insestuous paranoia about anything but absolute submission to their party line, is “racist”. Racist has come to mean anybody who opposes the current in vogue party line of the most extreme Leftists on social media.

Biden should be congratulated for opposing this extreme.

I detest Biden generally. But the insane extremes of the “woke” Leftists have to be opposed.

Biden invokes Ted Kennedy in defending remarks about working with segregationists

Former Vice President Joe Biden invoked his former colleague late Sen. Ted Kennedy (D-Mass.) in defending his remarks about working with segregationist senators during his tenure in the upper chamber.

“He’s the guy who got me on the Judiciary committee, we served from years and years," Biden said Wednesday during a fundraiser at the home of Kennedy's nephew Tim Shriver, according to the pool report.

"And we had to put up with the likes of like Jim Eastland and Hermy Talmadge and all those segregationists and all of that," he continued, adding that he and Kennedy were able "to beat them on everything they stood for.”

The former vice president went on to say that he and Kennedy "detested" Eastland and Talmadge's stances on segregation.

It was a huge mistake for him to bring up people like Eastland, but I think what he intended to say that to get things done, you sometimes have to work with people you don’t agree with or even like. (I would point out that he didn’t even have to “reach across the aisle” to do this.) While I’m willing to give him a little wiggle room here because I hate when people intentionally misrepresent what someone says, I will still say screw Biden and let him stew in his own juices. Screw his attackers too. They’re the enemy. I expect this to be just one example of more fun to come.
