(67,782 posts)10. But his recent comments NEVER mentioned busing until it was brought up by others.
And now that even Harris has walked back her position, which now aligns with Biden's, many people still won't let it go.

That article mentions "busing" 19 times, not a SINGLE one uttered by Biden. I rest my case.

So? He incorrectly thought he could highlight his work with segregationists without reminding people

The bottom line is, as hard as some are trying to "prove" it, Biden never brought up busing in 2019.

It wasn't Biden. And the date is June 30, 1977 (42 years ago), not June 2019.

Who wasn't Biden? Biden brought up the topic of working with Eastland/Talmadge decades ago.

No, he opened the door wide in 2019 by bringing up the topic of working with the segregationists

Nice links, but you haven't been able to tell when Biden brought this up. Didn't think so.
