He didn't join the U.S. Senate until 1972. He did NOT work with segregationists during a time of segregation or in support of segregation. The two democratic senators Biden mentioned he even said he never agreed with them on much of anything. He didn't elect them to office. Joe Biden simply stated that he was able to work to get things done for the American people despite how evil or hateful those two senator's past or present views of the time were.

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

Thank You. Now I know what was bugging me about Harris elfin Jun 2019 #14

Do you get annoyed with and hold it against Warren and Klobuchar when they talk about being women? StarfishSaver Jun 2019 #23

If they make it an oft-repeated and central pillar of why they are running, yes elfin Jun 2019 #25
