Biden torched for reminiscing about 'the old days' of having lunch with 'real segregationists' in the Senate
Fox News
The president raised eyebrows when he recalled having lunch with his bigoted former colleagues.
"You know, things have kind of changed since I first got there… I got elected there when I was 29 years old to the United States Senate from a very modest background. And I was there for 36 years before becoming vice president," Biden said Friday. "We always used to fight like hell even back in the old days when we had real segregationists like Eastland and Thurmond, all those guys, but we ended up eating lunch together. Things have changed. We got to bring it back."
