Biden says he chose South Carolina as place to apologize for segregationist remarks
By Rebecca Klar - 07/07/19 04:56 PM EDT

Former Vice President Joe Biden said he specifically chose South Carolina as the spot to apologize over comments he made about working with segregationists in the Senate.

The Associated Press reports Biden said he wanted to choose "an audience that would in fact be most likely to have been offended" by the comments.

The top-tier 2020 candidate apologized Saturday while campaigning in Sumter, S.C.

“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.”

Character still matters.  It always matters.

I wear a mask as an exercise in liberty and love for others.  To see it as an infringement of liberty is to entirely miss the point.  Be kind.

"Sometimes I think the Church would be better off if we would call a moratorium on activity for about six weeks and just wait on God to see what He is waiting to do for us. That's what they did before Pentecost."   - A. W. Tozer

Use the time God is giving us to seek His will and feel His presence.

   Man you'd think the Blacks held 20~30% of the voting population the way the dems are pandering to them, do they perceive their base to be that weak?

It not longer matters what you say or where you say it, Slow Joe.

CHARLESTON, S.C. — An African Methodist Episcopal Church reverend thanked Joe Biden for apologizing for how he described his relationships with segregationist senators.

"We want to thank Vice President Biden for apologizing. We want to thank him for having the courage to apologize," Rev. Thomas Nesbitt said in a prayer during a Morris Brown AME Church service on Sunday as Biden sat in a second row pew. Nesbitt noted that "God gave Jesus an apologetics to us."

Church pastor Rev. James A. Keeton Jr. also appeared to try to help smooth over the controversy over Biden's comment about segregationists during the service, introducing Biden as "somebody who understands the importance of working across the aisle" and "working with people who may not believe what you do."

Biden didn't work "across the aisle".  Talmadge, Eastland, Byrd, etc. were on his side of the aisle.

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.

-Dwight Eisenhower-


"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."

-Ayn Rand-

This is a great point @Hoodat   It needs to be repeated loudly and often.
