That's because you're racist.

You're welcome. See how easy it is to use?

Well I would rather see Biden put his foot in his mouth than put his hands on a young girl and see her cringe. That is just creepy.

People change and evolve....Byrd is an example. He was also an eloquent critic and opponent to the Iraq war.
I agree but, ALSO remember when Strom Thurmond who was ALSO with Byrd when they both were anti black and Srom was one of the FIRST Senators to have black staff member yet, when he retired the dems blasted Stom for his PREVIOUS stance on race and caused a repub to NOT get the Senate Majority Leadership because he said some good things about Stom at his retirement yet they gave Byrd free pass.

"He also supported the federal legislation creating the national MLK day"

I'd vote against that also. As much as I admire MLK, I do NOT think he was "greater" then ALL presidents or other Americans who did great things.

He is the ONLY American to have a "Day".

"and opponent to the Iraq war." And?

I saw sleepy Joe speaking at the SC Democrat Convention a few minutes ago. He was stuttering and stammering the whole way through, it was painful to watch.

Trump would absolutely wipe the floor with this guy in a debate. It wouldn't even be fair.

I was surprised how little the MSM covered this today. Almost like a flock of sheep, they thought reparations was a more important topic. Biden has yest to apologize. I'm sure this will come up in the debates.
The media has covered this incessantly. The main reason it's an issue is that Corey Booker and Bill DeBlasio are at 2% and 1% in the polls.

The old fellow is getting quite senile. He thinks it's sill 1975.


The media won't give negative coverage to Biden. They have decided for the Democrats that Biden will be the nominee.
