Big Jim Eastland was one of the most vicious bigots of the 20th century.
He was also a mentor to @JoeBiden.
Tonight the Biden campaign objected to that classification.
The biography of Eastland has a whole section on his mentoring of Biden. Start here.https://books.google.com/books/about/Big_Jim_Eastland.html?id=PZ2DDAAAQBAJ …
Here’s one of many sources detailing how the white supremacist Big Jim Eastland was a mentor to @JoeBiden.
Biden sought him out. He carefully guided Biden through the process of it all.
To now deny that Eastland mentored Biden is ahistorical. It’s a fact.pic.twitter.com/zY77XqGeME
So, so, soooo very grateful to have you fighting for @BernieSanders and our campaign Shaun. Keep up the great work and THANK YOU!

merely for the curious, and students of American history, a young Mike Wallace interviews James Eastland, 1957 https://www.c-span.org/video/?288932-1/mike-wallace-interview-senator-james-eastland …
Drop out joe!
Biden also went out of his way to rehabilitate Strom Thurmond's reputation in the later years of his life and after he died.pic.twitter.com/v42o3kiPk2
Don't see the point of claiming he's only referring to being able to work with segregationists. He goes on to praise Thurmond for being better than some *before* he ran on the platform "We stand for the segregation of the races and the racial integrity of each race"pic.twitter.com/PpjFY6ziJN
LBJ and Richard Russell. LBJ passed the civil rights act. The Great Society was a war on poverty. Whatever you do if Biden's the nominee, for the love of God PLEASE vote for him.
Nope... he hasn’t earned it
Shaun for finding this
Was Big Jim an ironic description of his,oh, nevermind.
You gotta pick the better side Joe.
True. How come I never heard about that before?
Joe wasn't using it as a selling point then.
@JoeBiden is not a bigot. Once again @shaunking you are helping the Republicans get a victory with your tweets. @SenKamalaHarris and @ewarren are looking better every day. Thanks
How did they do that? Even Harris came out against Biden today. I think it is more problematic when people don't come out in these situation and look the other wayhttps://twitter.com/IanSams/status/1141456845858639872?s=19 …
I couldn’t be friends with someone who was so racially motivated because I wouldn’t like the heart of them. I could work with them, even be friendly in social situations, but I would never call them my friend.
