remember, the attack is 2 pronged: 1) Biden dared to mention a segregationist. 2) Biden said Eastland didn't call him boy.

So part 1 was knocked down by your find. Part 2, I guess we'll know more soon.

I can't believe we're still talking about this. I feel like democrats are snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. trumpco has to be laughing their asses off right now.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
