    Wikipedia: Eastland "was an American white supremacist politician from Mississippi....A Dixiecrat, Eastland was known as the symbol of Southern resistance to racial integration during the civil rights era, often speaking of blacks as 'an inferior race.'"https://twitter.com/IsaacDovere/status/1141157838481498113 …

    Edward-Isaac DovereVerified account @IsaacDovere
    Tonight at a fundraiser in NYC, Biden recalled serving with a major segregationist Mississippi senator: “I was in a caucus with James O. Eastland ... he never called me boy, he always called me son.” He imitated the drawl. “At least there was some civility. We got things done”

        I hope so. But it sounds like the people that support him are not really paying attention.

        When stumping for Doug Jones he talked also about how great it was to work w segregationists like Eastland https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/powerpost/wp/2017/10/06/back-on-the-trail-bidens-message-rankles-the-left/?utm_term=.9f0676a33e4a …pic.twitter.com/xIgHyG6FFY

        Biden belongs in a museum, not a campaign trail.

        This is our regular reminder that Biden not only campaigned for the Democratic nomination before in '88 and '08, he's also really bad at it.

        What kind of dope thinks mentioning this knuckledragging racist can help? JFC. He’s past his use by date.
