.... would stop lying about Joe Biden praising and extolling Eastland. He never did, and everyone knows it, but people keep accusing him of it. I'm still waiting for someone to stand up and tell Jim Clyburn and John Lewis they are wrong, and why they are wrong. You can't put this perceived burden of guilt on Biden and his supporters and not put that same perceived burden of guilt on Jim Clyburn and John Lewis. One cannot simply have it both ways.

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