Joe Biden and the democrat party racism go back a long way....
Missing from Biden’s speech was the fact that George Wallace, Bull Connor, and Jefferson Davis were all Democrats. So, technically, Joe Biden, and the partisan Democrats who participated in the charade in Georgia, were all on their side.
But Joe Biden stands out as unique among them because he isn’t just on the same side of the Democrats mentioned above by being in the same party.
In 1975, he was an undeniable fan of George Wallace. “I think the Democratic Party could stand a liberal George Wallace—someone who’s not afraid to stand up and offend people, someone who wouldn’t pander but would say what the American people know in their gut is right,” he told the Philadelphia Enquirer.
Biden remained a fan of Wallace through the 1980s. In 1981, he praised Wallace’s positions on various issues and told a black witness during a Senate committee hearing that “sometimes even George Wallace is right.” Later, during his first attempt at running for president in 1987, he bragged that in 1973 Wallace considered him “one of the outstanding young politicians of America,” and while campaigning in Alabama, he said, “we (Delawareans) were on the South’s side in the Civil War.”
