I still remember watching Fox News in 2020, as it was announced that former Vice President Joe Biden would elected President of the United States. Now as an 11-year-old kid, I wasn’t very politically active, and at the time I didn’t think much of it. “Wow, Joe Biden is going to be President, It can’t be that bad, can it?”
But over the years, I’ve come to realize how terrible the United States has actually gotten. Since Biden took office a total of 4,767,294 illegal immigrants, have crossed the border in the last 2 years of the Biden Administration.
Joe Biden and his political circle have drastically changed to such a large extent, that just looking back a few years, it becomes obvious. In 1987, then presidential candidate Joe Biden falsely claimed that he had marched in the civil rights movement alongside tens of thousands.
However, months after promoting this claim, Biden denied his previous statement, admitting that he had not participated in the civil rights marches. This was a blatant fabrication, one he’s repeated so frequently that he might even believe it himself.
“In the ’60s, I was in fact very concerned about the civil rights movement. I was not an activist. I worked at an all-black swimming pool on the east side of Wilmington, Delaware. I was involved. I was involved in what they were thinking, and what they were feeling. I was involved, but I was not out marching. I was not down in Selma. I was not anywhere else,” Biden stated during a campaign speech in 1988.
As a U.S. Senator from Delaware, Biden wasn’t viewed very fondly, partly due to his youth. While he claimed to support the Civil Rights movement, he also collaborated with segregationists and white supremacists like Herman Talmadge, Strom Thurmond, and James Eastland, who had a history of racist remarks, referring to African Americans as an “inferior race.”
Biden later served as Vice President to Barack Obama, America’s first Black President. Despite the Democratic Party’s emphasis on diversity, Biden’s history of racist remarks didn’t end. During his 2008 presidential campaign, Biden described Barack Obama as “articulate and clean,” a comment that was widely criticized for its racial tone.
Biden also once commented, “I don’t want my children to grow up in a jungle, a racial jungle.” It’s worth noting that Biden has since apologized for these remarks, claiming his actions from the 70s are irrelevant and “ancient history,” but I don’t think we should overlook his voting record or accept his forced apology as genuine.
Before President Biden was old and ignorant, he was a young and corrupt Senator.
