I was able to literally, not figuratively, talk Strom Thurmond into voting for the Civil Rights Act before he died, and I thought, ‘Well maybe there’s real progress,’ But hate never dies. It just hides, it hides under the rocks.” The Civil Rights Act later passed the Senate in June of 1964, despite Thurmond voting against it, and eight years before Biden, who was 21 at the time, had won his first senate seat. In an attempt to explain the latest blunder by the president, a White House spokesperson later told Fox News that Biden had been “instrumental in getting Thurmond’s vote for the Voting Rights Act, in 1980.” Edited August 29, 2023 by Highmark 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
