Biden Defends Civil Rights Record In First Remarks Since Harris Debate Attack
Former Vice President Joe Biden is addressing Rev. Jesse Jackson’s Rainbow PUSH Coalition, a day after a dramatic confrontation over his civil rights record on the Democratic presidential debate stage.
California Sen. Kamala Harris blasted Biden on Thursday for recently defending having worked with segregationists in the Senate and for opposing mandatory busing of students to desegregated public schools decades ago.
The moment became a sensation for Harris and left Biden saying his record had been mischaracterized. But it made him look unsure of himself for long stretches.
Friday’s address in Chicago may help Biden shore up his support with African Americans, a key demographic that helped him build an early lead in Democratic primary polls.

It's damned shame that decent white men must defend themselves constantly against the race and gender card just because of the color or their skin and being male.
Accept n move on.
The alchohol stench from the streets of florence. Never went away.
Getto boy,
My mine playin tricks
So I'm gonna ask
Ja Rule what he think
You and Harris ain't fit to rule.
3:50 I like how Joe stops mid speech to get on the back of Obama’s name once the slightest mention of Obama receives an applause.
Harris needs to take a long bus ride off a short pier
Thought my headphones broke… why isn't this at least mono if not stereo?
Joe biden who crafted the 94 bill, is time to pass "THE TORCH" to a new generation. you and bernie are too old. KAMALA HARRIS WOULD DESTROY TRUMP IN A DEBATE STAGE.
what a whiner, blah blah blah
Democrats pimp the plight of poor blacks for their own financial gain. Poor blacks get EBT and project housing, Democrat social workers get pensions and vacation homes.
Biden is a good guy. He's the only one that can get Trump out of office and the only Dem I will vote for
Only the super elite are making employees sign noncompete agreements.
Every time he says Obama I’m like STOP
He didn't endorse you SLEEPY touchy feely Sloppy Joe. I'M talking about that Kenyan born Village idiot AKA Barack O'Sissy What does this say about you and his snake oil salesman A**?
"Obama is the first articulate clean black."
– Biden, 2008
There are a lot of Trump supporters commenting on this video. Joe Biden is the only candidate that could defeat con man Trump. Trump and his enablers know that. As for those left wing loonies and identity politics fanatics, you people need to wake up. Career politician?? I would rather have a career politician who was tested in the halls of Congress, who was willing to compromise and reach out to his opponents and find a common ground, so that inch by inch, the country becomes a better country for ALL, its citizens. You want character and getting things done, vote for Joe Biden. You want chaos and inconsistency with a dash of lunacy, vote for Trump. You dream of left wing over the edge policies and identity politics, you might as well, vote for Trump. Joe Biden made mistakes, but the most important thing was, he learned from them and made him a wiser, better man..
On racism: He was vice to the first black president, On Out of Touch: He had an office in the White House for 8 years, ending only 3 years ago. Eight years to get a PhD is 100X less challenging than a real life career. He is authentic, the others are full of promises and hot air.
Uncle Joe should just quit the race.
