Biden first should heal his own racism before he fabricates it in others.

He fueled his early Senate career with homages to southern Democratic segregationists, such as Sen. James O. Eastland, D-Miss. Biden even bragged that Eastland “never called me ‘boy.’” Biden gave eulogies for former Dixiecrat Sen. Strom Thurmond, R-S.C., and former Klansman Sen. Robert Byrd, D-W.Va.

Of school busing, a younger Sen. Biden thundered, “My children are going to grow up in a jungle, the jungle being a racial jungle.” …

As a presidential candidate in 2020, he dismissed two black journalists, respectively, with the putdowns “you ain’t black” and “junkie.”

[Joe Biden is, and has always been, a vicious demagogue and smear artist. He’s a disgrace to his office in more ways than just this — his despicable abandonment of Americans in Afghanistan is the worst of those ways — but this also qualifies. He’s as bad as Harry Reid, who at least was smart enough to deploy it strategically. — Ed]
