      You can’t make this shit up. This is @JoeBiden, TONIGHT, bragging about his father-son relationship with a WHITE SUPREMACIST. Here is his Wikipedia Page. Just read the introduction. And TONIGHT, Biden bragged about him. James Eastland was a monster. https://twitter.com/IsaacDovere/status/1141157838481498113 …pic.twitter.com/95MgosQUYc

      Dear @JoeBiden, How dare you fondly recall your tender fucking moments with James Eastland - a virulent lifelong racist. Most historians think of him as one of the most openly racist white supremacists to serve in government in the 20th century. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Eastland …pic.twitter.com/wzoWKJKL5r

      Let me tell you the truth. If Trump even remotely bragged about white supremacist James Eastland the way Biden just fondly recalled him, he’d be rightly crucified in the media over it. I can hardly believe what Biden said tonight. Stunned. The man was a monster.

      In 1945, Senator James Eastland was so boldly racist on the Senate floor, saying that Black men were not fully human enough to serve in the Army, that journalists compared him to an American Hitler. In 1945. And Biden gave the man a shout out tonight.

      In 1964 when Mississippi Freedom Riders Schwerner, Chaney, and Goodman we’re murdered by white supremacists, Mississippi Senator James Eastland called it “a publicity stunt.” Said it was all faked by communists. And Biden bragged tonight about how Eastland called him “son”?

      James Eastland, along with senators Robert Byrd and Strom Thurmond, made unsuccessful attempts to block the confirmation of Thurgood Marshall to the Federal Court of Appeals and the US Supreme Court. And Biden raved about him tonight? Unthinkable.

          In his obituary, the LA Times recalled how “Big Jim” Eastland casually called Thurgood Marshall a nigger. And Biden bragged tonight “He did not call me boy. He called me son.”https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1986-02-20-mn-9797-story.html …

          He's waxed poetic about how (personally) nice Dick Chaney was to him, that he "liked" him and said he's a "decent man." Nothing surprises anymore. He's such a narcissist, if all of history's greatest monsters were kind to him, he'd say they were all swell fellas.

          Raved about him? Or was trying to make the point that even with someone that divisive, American politics still could function? Biden clearly was not touting the man, quite the opposite, Instead of making a point about American politics
