8. Joe Biden IS still defending the 1994 Crime Bill now

Joe Biden’s defense of the 1994 crime bill’s role in mass incarcerations

“This idea that the crime bill generated mass incarceration, it did not generate mass incarceration."
— Former vice president Joe Biden (D-Del.), in remarks in Nashua, N.H., May 14, 2019

The Pinocchio Test
Biden tries to deflect criticism that the 1994 crime bill contributed to an increase in incarceration by pinning the blame on the states for building more prisons and passing tougher laws. But the federal law set the tone — and the bill he crafted included incentives for states to overhaul their laws and build more prisons.
There are many factors that contributed to the United States having such a high incarceration rate, but few dispute the crime bill was a contributor. Bill Clinton has acknowledged this. If Biden is going to lay claim to the “Biden Crime Bill,” he also needs to take ownership of some of its flaws apparent a quarter-century later.

And Sanders has admitted that the 1994 Crime Bill was flawed and he railed against those flaws at the time and has said it was a mistake to have voted for it.

Biden, as you admit, is also still defending co-authoring that bill.

So my point is you are wrong, Biden IS still defending the 1994 Crime Bill and fact checkers gave him Two Pinocchios for that defense.

So, again, what was YOUR point?

That it's bad to realize that much more work needs to be done on criminal justice reform?

That we should all still defend the 1994 Crime Bill like Biden is doing?
