Black Lawmakers Have Joe Biden's Back Following Segregationist Comments
Members of the Congressional Black Caucus were quick to defend Joe Biden after the uproar over comments claiming Biden had worked with segregationists to 'get things done.' Jim Clyburn was quoted as follows:
I worked with Strom Thurmond all my life, House Majority Whip James Clyburn (D-S.C.), the highest-ranking African American in Congress, said of the infamous segregationist senator. You dont have to agree with people to work with them.
It appears that a number of CBC members would refute the idea that Biden is the 'most tone deaf politician in American history.'
Which btw would be Donald Trump.
