Joe Biden, recalling the"civility" of the Senate in the 1970s and ’80s, on Tuesday touted his experience working with two segregationist Southern senators to get"things done" — drawing an immediate rebuke from Mayor Bill de Blasio of New York, who is married to an African American woman and has an interracial family.
Speaking at a fundraiser at New York City's Carlyle Hotel, Biden brought up the names of Sens. James Eastland of Mississippi and Herman Talmadge of Georgia, both Democrats who were staunchly opposed to desegregation. Eastland chaired the Senate Judiciary Committee when Biden entered the Senate — a committee he would later chair.
"I was in a caucus with James O. Eastland," the former vice president said."He never called me 'boy.' He always called me 'son.'" Of Talmadge, Biden said he was"one of the meanest guys I ever knew, you go down the list of all these guys.""Well guess what?" Biden continued."At least there was some civility. We got things done. We didn't agree on much of anything. We got things done. We got it finished. But today, you look at the other side and you're the enemy. Not the opposition — the enemy. We don't talk to each other anymore.
Joe is thinking Moochelle as his VP.
DE BLASIO TRYING TO HAVE A FREE RIDE FOR ILLEGALS FOR A DRIVERS LICENSE, WHY TO MAKE SURE THEY ALL VOTE AGAINST PRESIDENT TRUMP SICK PUPPY.
Two ass-wipes
He talks about them as the other side. Both Men were in the Democratic party, werent they?
de Blasio is an imbecile. smh
Most of the time, the US Senators are civil to each other & always have been. The US Constitution is under serious threat. When is the media going to notice?
The circular firing squads begin.
They are both 🤡!
the Mayor is correct.

Jut to mention, Biden didn't actually say anything of the sort. it's not like Biden worked to encourage segregation. DeBlasio is just desperate to get some attention to his campaign - there are better ways to do that.
“They wanna put y’all back in chains”
BilldeBlasio We know. Everybody in NYC knows. Civility is anathema for you. No surprise. We also know you are ridiculously lazy. You won’t have NY’s vote! JoeBiden CoryBooker
1,5 billion from china deal for your son...?
Civility also brought passivity. Most serious change in our nation has come though the Supreme Court.
