Inskeep: Biden’s Been Around Since the Days Segregationists Were in Power

‘He dealt with those people once upon a time’

EXCERPT:

INSKEEP: "Well, he actually did say I’m sorry for any pain or misconception. It’s an actual apology. In a sense, it ends it in that we have this endless river of news going on. And we’re so far out from the election. And we may not even remember this episode weeks from now. But it gets to the heart of Biden’s appeal, and his political style, and the way he wants to sell himself. He wants to tell voters I’m the guy who can work with the other side. I’m the guy who can get things done, even with people with whom I profoundly disagree. But it’s also a reminder that Joe Biden has been around a long time. He’s been around since the days when people who have been open segregationists were still in positions of power in the government, and he dealt with those people once upon a time."
