Biden apologizes for remarks about segregationist senators
By Tal Axelrod - 07/06/19 04:14 PM EDT

Former Vice President Joe Biden apologized Saturday for his recent remarks about his ability to work with segregationists during his time as a Senator.

The remarks are his first mea culpa over the comments this campaign cycle.

The White House hopeful maintained he had done the right thing by working across the aisle with people whose views he found “repugnant,” but apologized if he gave the impression he was praising the senators.

“Everything they stood for offended me. They represented everything that I ran against.” Biden said in Sumter, S.C. “I do believe we have work to do, even with those who we find repugnant, to make our system of government to work for all of us. I believe then and I believe now, and I know it can be done without compromising on our principles.”

“Folks, now was I wrong a few weeks ago to somehow give the impression to people that I was praising those men who I successfully opposed time and again? Yes, I was. I regret it and I’m sorry for any of the pain or misconception I may have caused anybody.”

Dear Lord. At this rate, with this apology and the daily gaffes, he'll be out too soon. I want him to stay in to watch the fun.

Yes, he's bottoming out more quickly than I would have thought.

Yes, he's bottoming out more quickly than I would have thought.

Scott Adams supposedly told Trump last August when they met in the Oval Office, to expect Harris as the opponent.


Yet again Adams' predictive skill is proving to be very good, as of this point.

Apologize for Segregationist Senators Remarks

Biden is beautiful. He really is an OLD THROWBACK from the last century. He is classic DEMOCRAT. Racist, segregationist, good ol' boy, KKK, and he can't help it. It is so much a part of him, he can't even fake not being what he is.

If the Democrat Power Structure has decided that Biden is their path to the future, it's his turn at bat...then I just don't know what to say.

Uh, no.  You didn't reach across the aisle.  These "repugnant" segregationists were in your party.  You even voted to elect a former Klucker as your majority leader.
