I don't think it's any secret those guys were Democrats.. Southern Democrats ruled Congress in the 60's and 70's, Texas alone had a dozen or more House Democrats on the conservative side.. Jake Pickle, George Mahon.. naturally a few of the Dems would be hard-core segregationists.Anyone who thinks Jake Pickle was a kind and civil person and got along with people didn't know that asshole.
but the past 35 years has seen a huge shift in Democratic voting patterns and attitudes. same with Republicans, both parties are far more "left" and "right", respectively.. there are no Senator Ed Brooke's and Jacob Javitz's in the Republican field.
which is sort of the larger point. Biden harkens back to an era that hasn't existed for several decades.. that is his reference point. he is hopelessly outdated. even Obama gets that. Originally Posted by Chung Tran

And Obama is silent. He’s letting Biden flap in the wind. Originally Posted by bambinoI think Obama's behind this. Never trust a Commie.
MSNBC's Kasie Hunt: “Joe Biden references his relationships with two former Republican colleagues at an event in NYC. The only problem? They were both segregationists”Hunt did not make a correction on the air that day, but posted a tweet later that evening noting the error. She also said she’d correct it the next day on-air, which she did:
The Senators were identified as James Eastland & Herman Talmadge
They are Democrats

A day after falsely labeling two segregationist senators as Republican, MSNBC's Kasie Hunt issues a correction:By that point, however, the damage was done.

“Our reporting yesterday was that some of his advisers, and even some of his supporters, were a little shocked with the way he was characterizing his relationships with those senators. And they’ve said, if you want to talk about bipartisanship, why not mention other Republicans — not the kind of the most controversial of them. And we know that the other Democrats are going to try to seize on this to create differences and stand out.”Watch the segment below:
