“Biden defends civil rights record after fiery criticism by Harris on segregation
“Sen. Kamala Harris criticized former U.S. vice-president Joe Biden for opposing public school busing in 1970s”
Kamala Harris appears to have had her moment here.
But many do not understand what a weak candidate Biden is. His life-long record is troubling. Worse, the details often conflict with the words which stream readily from his mouth.
I have long regarded him as a true American political phony, the kind of rubbery-faced smiler who does a good imitation of someone with a career of "fighting the good fight," fighting battles on the right side of history. He very much does not have such a record.
As to Harris, her rise in politics came with some pretty unsavoury stuff in California. She represents the establishment's offering of an outsider woman.
If you want that, there's only one authentic choice in this contest, Tulsi Gabbard, which is exactly why she is ignored by so much of America's press and other politicians. Truth is not a friend in American national politics. Not at all.
On Joe Biden:
