The scary thing is not only does it attempt to put the quote in “context” it makes every attempt to cover for little Joey! At the very end of this article they quote part of Biden’s anti-unity, hatful and name calling speech to put everything in “context”. @PoliticFact please feel free to use my 5min video posted on the 15th for the entire context. If read the direct quotes from the article and weed out all the fluffy and creative language they can’t even defend Joey Biden.
The true and honest context is an angry, failing, weak and sick Joe Biden, who once called a former KKK member a mentor, is afraid and is using the last few weapons in the Democrats armory, fear and hate to not lose power.
Direct Quote:
His words failed to gain the support of Republicans, but they did draw a sharp response from some in the party who were angered when Biden brought up the names of 1960s segregationists George Wallace and Bull Connor and Confederate leader Jefferson Davis.
Wallace was a four-term Alabama governor who opposed desegregation and famously stood in front of a door at the University of Alabama to block two Black students from enrolling there. Eugene "Bull" Connor was a Birmingham Police Commissioner who used dogs and firehoses to break up civil rights demonstrations.
Jefferson Davis was a former U.S. senator from Mississippi who became president of the Confederacy during the Civil War. He was captured and indicted for treason.
The same day the bill died, Biden gave a White House press conference marking the end of his first year in office. He disputed characterizations that he compared Republicans who didn’t support the voting bill to racists of the past, first in an exchange with NBC News correspondent Kristen Welker and later, in a heated response to a question from RealClearPolitics reporterPhilip Wegmann.
We went back to read what he said. While Biden didn’t explicitly accuse those who don’t support the voting bill of being racists, he did say that their vote would be remembered unfavorably in history, much like the actions of those past figures who didn’t support civil rights or an end to slavery.
