Joe Biden likes to pretend that he was an active participant in the 1960s civil rights movement, often claiming he was arrested protesting. He was forced to come clean in his first failed presidential run in 1988, but since the liberal media no longer fact checks him, he is free to invent a fictitious activism history. His latest lie is one of his worst and most easily disproven, but again the media lets him get away with it.
As you may know, Joe Biden suddenly gave a shit about a tragedy when a white gunman killed three black people in Jacksonville, Florida over the weekend. Trying to get as much pandering mileage out of this as possible, he gave a speech at he Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law reception.
Predictably, Biden was full of shit:
“I thought things had changed. I was able, literally not figuratively, to talk Strom Thurmond into voting for the Civil Rights Act before he died,” claimed Biden.
What a guy. He literally and single-handily convinced the racists of the democratic party to pass the Civil Rights Act. There’s only one problem, actually several, in that Biden’s time line doesn’t match with reality.
The Civil Rights Act of 1964 was passed in, duh, 1964. At that particular moment in history, Joe Biden was a low-achieving history major at the University of Delaware. There’s a zero percent chance that the powerful South Carolina Senator, Strom Thurmond, would have consulted some nobody kid from Delaware on his vote for a major piece of legislation.
But wait, it doesn’t even matter if Thurmond had a pow-wow with Joey B. on voting for the Civil Rights Act, because the democrat actually voted against it. In fact Thurmond filibustered the bill, setting a record for the longest filibuster by a single Senator, at 24 hours and 18 minutes.
Hang on, because Joe Biden lies are multi-layered, there’s still more bullshit to give. Strom Thurmond died in 2003, 39 years after he didn’t vote for the Civil Rights Act.
Putting all of this together, Joe Biden claims that as a 22-year-old college student, he talked Strom Thurmond into voting for a bill he didn’t vote for, nearly four decades after he didn’t vote for it. Biden is trying to cast himself as a civil rights hero, but in reality he’s a pandering zero.
There was another Civil Rights Act in 1968, but ’64 is the big one. Additionally there was a Civil Rights act in 1970, but none of that matters because they were all before Joe Biden became a Senator in 1973, and began his love affair with the segregationists of the democratic party.
The liberal media won’t fact-check this latest civil rights lie, but there’s something even more important that they are ignoring. Biden is very proud of his relationships with white supremacists, like Strom Thurmond who was an adamant segregationist as a member of the democratic party, before switching to the GOP and then running for president as a Dixiecrat.
Biden also brags about his kinship with James O. Eastland and Herman Talmadge, two of the most racist democrats ever, and that’s saying a lot. Here’s a fun thing from Wikipedia about Eastland:
During World War II, Eastland vocally opposed and degraded the service of African American soldiers in the war. He incited protests and comparisons to Hitlerism following a vitriolic speech on the floor of the Senate in July 1945, in which he complained that the Negro soldier was physically, morally, and mentally incapable of serving in combat. In contrast, Eastland claimed that the “boys from the South were fighting to maintain white supremacy.”
And let’s not forget that Joe Biden delivered the eulogy at Exalted Cyclops of the KKK, Robert Byrd’s funeral.
When some random white supremacist, who he has never met, endorses Donald Trump, the liberal media flips out and say that proves the former President is a racist. Joe Biden has been endorsing his white supremacist friends for decades, but for some reason that same liberal media doesn’t see a hint of racism there.
