Joe Biden once praised the segregationist Republican Sen. Strom Thurmond of South Carolina as “one of my closest friends†and championed him as someone who believed in America's diversity.
He was giving a speech at the Strom Thurmond Institute in South Carolina in December 1988. Thurmond, Biden said, had urged him to keep running for president, telling him: "You’ve got a good 30 years left to try." A year earlier, Biden had dropped out of the presidential race amid plagiarism accusations. He ran again in 2008, dropping out early a second time, and now, 31 years after the speech, he is having a third tilt at the White House.

It's kind of disappointing to watch these old liberals pander to the SJW brats. There is nobody left to respect.
