https://www.axios.com/2024/02/22/biden-republicans-worse-strom-thurmond-segregationists President Biden said Wednesday that Republicans in Congress are "worse" than prominent Senate Republican segregationists including Strom Thurmond.
Why it matters: The comments mark an escalation in Biden's war of words against Republicans as the GOP-controlled House refuses to hold a vote on a Senate foreign aid bill.
What he's saying: "I've been a senator since '72. I've served with real racists. I've served with Strom Thurmond," Biden said at a fundraiser in San Francisco, according to a White House pool report.
>"But guess what? These guys are worse. These guys do not believe in basic democratic principles," the president continued.
>Biden said Thurmond did "terrible things," but "at least you could work with some of these guys," adding: "Time and again Republicans show they are the party of chaos and division."
State of play: Biden's comments come as Johnson is blocking a vote on a Senate bill to provide military aid to Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan.
>Biden and Johnson's office, in a chilly public exchange this week, both said they are open to meeting on the issue, with a spokesperson for the speaker saying the president "spent the past month denying a 1-on-1 meeting."
>Republicans may also be hurtling towards a government shutdown as House GOP hardliners pressure Johnson not to give in to Democratic demands on spending.

>>1269564 He's not calling Republicans racist, he's saying they don't have any principles and are just being obstructionists.
Unless you take issue with him calling Strom Thurmond a racist, which I'm pretty sure even Thurmond would agree that he was a racist.

>>1269559 >"Time and again Republicans show they are the party of chaos and division." Do democrats really look around at the chaos and division of their own cities, in which liberals have been in charge for generations, and somehow attribute their third world conditions to Republicans?

>>1269559 It’s funny how racist Jim Crow Joe Biden is calling everyone racist.
To note, Robert Byrd was a racist DemoKKKrat and a ranking member of the KKK. Him and Biden were not surprising buds.
Every accusation from a racist lying DemoKKKrat is a confession.

>>1269593 Setting aside for a moment that constantly calling white people racist and causing racial division in general is a foundational pillar of judeo-liberal ideology, the fact that he brought up "racist strom thurman" at all is an undeniably obvious passive-aggressive accusation of racism towards the "even worse republicans" that he was comparing to Thurman. Why would he bring up "muh racism" in the first place? These foreign proxy war funding bills are extremely unpopular among the entire electorate and have nothing to do with race at all.

Republicans want us to eat cake, but we have to make it ourselves and we can't afford the ingredients.
They say, 'try harder'.
WE say. 'The larder is bare'.
Republicans say, 'Then grow some wheat, and some sugar beats and some vanilla and make some baking powder and process it all, and then bake your cake'.
We say, 'How do I do all of that?'
Republicans say,'I guess you should have learned that in school, rather than taking socialist courses".(As they eat cake made by someone else)

We Jews have always been in the forefront of progressive social and economic policies(Except for a few race traitors like Greenspan and Kissinger).

>>1270215 Rightwingers also don't understand the concept of the overton window or even updating your political ideas as time goes on, for that matter. Its true that in today's climate the 90's crime bill would be problematic within the Democrat party but that's how political evolution works. 25 years ago the Democrat party supporting something like college loan forgiveness or green energy would be unthinkable. The same could be said for many aspects of the Republican party. 30 years ago one of their biggest running issues was gay marriage. Today it isn't even in their top 10. Any Republican supporting gay marriage in the 90's would've been unheard of yet they have literally no platform on it today. Anyways, anybody with an IQ above 40 understands this but rightwingers can't process even basic civics.
