Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) on Thursday tried to downplay the controversy surrounding former Vice President Joe Biden touting his work with segregationist senators as an example of "civility."
"I think that authenticity is the most important characteristic that candidates have to convey to the American people and Joe Biden is authentic," Pelosi told reporters at a press conference in the Capitol. "He considers certain things a resource, that he has worked across the aisle. That's what he was saying."
Pelosi neither criticized nor explicitly defended Biden, but in addition to describing him as "authentic," she noted he has support among African Americans.
“Joe Biden seems to have tremendous support in the African American community, but it’s for them to decide. It's not for me to make a judgment as to how they're going to react," Pelosi said.

:: This FOOT IN MOUTH IDIOT is NOT going to make it to face TRUMP! ::
By design, my FRen. Trust the plan.
I think 'authentic' means 'yes, he is an idiot, but he is our idiot'.
I’m rooting for Spartacus Jazz Hands on this one. He can do a lot of damage to Plugs’s latest breath-taking gaffe—plus Spartacus has no chance of being the nominee LMAO.
Stand your ground, Plugs!!!! This is the hill you should choose to die on, LMAO!!!
Plugs has also forgotten about his “Obama is a clean and articulate black man” comment.
But there isn’t a racist bone in Plugs’ body!! “Period. Period. PERIOD.”
LMAO
As Groucho Marx said about his brother, Chico: "He might look an idiot, and talk like an idiot, and act like an idiot but don't let that fool you. He really is an idiot." Easily applies to Joe Biden.

The Democrat party (the party of slavery, separate-but-equal Jim Crow laws, lynchings, KKK, poll taxes, literacy tests, and now the party of abortion) doesn’t seem to like its role in that history.
Any time you hear liberal politicians talking about civil rights, they act as if the Democrat party led the fight for African-Americans, women, and other minorities in this country. It was the Republican party that introduced and passed all Reconstruction Amendments (13th through the 15th) and introduced nearly every African-American civil rights bill from the end of the Civil War through the mid 20th century.
The Civil Rights bills of the 50s and 60s were mere copies of bills defeated by Democrats nearly 100 years prior, and the GOP still voted in overwhelmingly larger margins than Dems.
... Ironically, it was Democrats who voted unanimously AGAINST the 15th Amendment, which guaranteed the right to vote ... regardless of “race, color, or previous condition of servitude”.
I bet Robert Pyrd was ‘authentic’ too, huh PelosiIdiot?
