"On Thursday, another decades-old quote of Biden’s surfaced courtesy of the Trump campaign’s opposition research team. A September 20, 1987, story in the Philadelphia Inquirer reported Biden had bragged about receiving an award from George Wallace, the former Alabama governor and one of America’s most notorious segregationists."
"I want to thank you all for allowing me a trip here to speak to only Republicans. It's like my hometown. I just won every district in my state except the one I live in," he quipped.
The crowd howled.
The senator then pounced on a member's announcement that the club would hold its annual Christmas party at the state Department of Archives and History where members could view the original copy of the state's Articles of Secession.
Biden asked, "Where else could I go to a Rotary Club where (for a) Christmas party the highlight is looking at the Articles?"
Biden was on a roll.
Delaware, he noted, was a "slave state that fought beside the North. That's only because we couldn't figure out how to get to the South. There were a couple of states in the way."
So three issues:
1) You're merely regurgitating Trump campaign talking points. We don't permit memes of such bullshittery here.
2) Obviously dead-pan humor; it was a joke.
3) You're attributing these quotes to Biden as if they're current today. This quote referenced is 44 years old. At least try to be sincere. The fact that you had to go back 40 years to get that... You really had to reach.
Hey PoliticsTOO team, how far do we have to reach back for Donald Trumps Racist comments that were "Just a joke?"
