Biden Admits He Worked Alongside ‘Real Racists,’ Then Claims Today’s GOP Is Worse

Virginia Kruta, The Daily Wire

President Joe Biden reportedly admitted that he had served in the Senate with “real racists” and segregationists — mentioning former South Carolina GOP Sen. Strom Thurmond by name — and then claimed that today’s Republican Party was “worse.”

According to a pool report from Wednesday evening, Biden compared Republicans to the men he’d served with who “set terrible records on race,” accusing the GOP of not believing in “basic democratic principles.”

“Biden tonight, per pool,” Roll Call chief correspondent Niels Lesniewski posted via X. “‘I’ve served with real racists. I’ve served with Strom Thurmond. I’ve served with all these guys that have set terrible records on race. But guess what? These guys are worse. These guys do not believe in basic democratic principles.’”
