WATCH: Biden Gets Racial When Talking About Lynching; “Some People Still Want To Do That”
Joe Biden thinks that some white people still want to lynch minorities. Yes, really.
Biden, (or as some call, the divider in chief), was touting the one year anniversary since he signed the “Emmitt Till Anti-Lynching Bill” as he made the accusations.
“You know folks, lynching is pure terror, enforcing the lie that not everyone belongs in America and not everyone is created equal. Pure terror to systematically undermine civil rights. Innocent men, women and children hung by a noose from trees, bodies burned, drowned, castrated. Their crimes? Trying to vote. Trying to go to school. Trying to own a business. Trying to preach the gospel. False accusations of murder, arson, robbery. Lynched for simply being black, nothing more,” Biden said, reading from a teleprompter.
Then he accused white people of still wanting to commit these heinous crimes in modern times. “With white crowds white families gathered to celebrate the spectacle, taking pictures of the bodies and mailing them on postcards, hard to believe that thats what was done, and some people still want to do that.”

That's because of the Rolling Stones article. Which was debunked. But people still push it

Fortunately, nowadays, that mindset is atypical—not enough to call for a protracted presidential address. Why make "feeling" a key point as if it were a crime when legislation making hangings unlawful has already been made into law?
