    I keep seeing people say @JoeBiden just told this story tonight to demonstrate how he “could reach across the aisle.” James Eastland WAS A DEMOCRAT. He was on the same side of the aisle as Joe Biden! That wasn’t bi-partisanship. This man was his mentor. He called Biden “son.”https://twitter.com/shaunking/status/1141202531126845440 …

    Dear @JoeBiden, Had you seen this quote from James Eastland before you fondly recalled how he called you son? “In every stage of the bus boycott we have been oppressed and degraded because of black, slimy, juicy, unbearably stinky niggers. African flesh eaters.” pic.twitter.com/fowq4Tg9Le

        Even if Eastland was a member of the GOP, it comes to show that Biden has a long history of supporting bad policies and bad people.

        Obama made him famous and he thinks he is the answer. I can't wait for the first debate. I hope that Bernie learns his lesson from last time and actually takes apart the so-called front runner

        If Biden had been black, it doesn't sound like Eastland would have been calling him son.

        His comments were awful. But it’s clear Biden isn’t a racist.

        He was a Southern Democrat. There's a difference. It's why they are all Republicans today...

        Eastland was one the worst rabid segregationists to have ever walked the Halls of Congress, and Biden invokes him as a role model? #HardPass #NeverBiden

        I would really like to see an America in my lifetime not under the control of the same warmongering racist capitalists who have been in control since Nixon was elected.
