It's a shame Joe Biden is sowing more division today, a day that should be about unity and support for Dayton, Ohio, and El Paso, Texas.
Biden once accused Mitt Romney of planning to put black Americans “back in chains,” and today he is lobbing more irresponsible accusations in Iowa that will only inflame divisions in this country. bostonglobe.com/opinion/editor…
As Biden invokes George Wallace, let’s remember the facts:
• Biden bragged in 1987 about receiving an award from George Wallace in 1973.
• Biden made a habit of telling Southerners that George Wallace praised him.
• Biden bragged about his friendships with white supremacists in the U.S. Senate.
• Biden argued against giving “the black man a head start,” saying he doesn’t “buy the concept” that black Americans have been suppressed.
• At least 3 times in 2006, Biden bragged that Delaware was former a slave state.
Instead of spreading the “very fine people” hoax—something even CNN’s Jake Tapper said is not true—Biden should explain why he flip-flopped on the death penalty & opposes the execution of Daniel Lewis Lee, a white supremacist who murdered a family of 3, including a little girl.
