      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 …

          His entire play is to show how he can work with Trump's new kkk party to get things done, by things he means nothing.

          Why do centrists think the only way to build centrist cred is to get close to segregationist scum? I mean, if you want to bash the left, "I served for years with Claiborne Pell. The guy was a socialist wacko, but there was civility, we got things done." works just as well.

          Has he decided that the only way for him to finally become President is to be more like Trump? I wonder.

          Biden’s comment is not raving about him. 🙄 I’m not a Biden fan either, but he’s not using “son” in the context you’re assuming he is.
