9:43Now PlayingSome Republicans will do anything to paint former Vice President Joe Biden as a racist so they can say the 2020 presidential election is between two racists ... 🤔.
In a video that is widely available on C-Span, then Sen. Biden allegedly hurled n-words, but in reality here is what actually happened ...
FactCheck.org reports ()
"That video () is actually of a public hearing by the Senate Judiciary Committee and Biden’s words were not his own. Nor was he “repeating” the “Nword” in a manner to agree with or endorse it, as the ad implies.
That hearing was on the nomination of William Reynolds, who was nominated by President Ronald Reagan to be associate attorney general. At the time, Biden was the ranking minority member on the committee.
Reynolds was the assistant attorney general for civil rights, and Biden questioned Reynolds’ role in a Louisiana redistricting plan that had been struck down by the courts because it was biased against Blacks, as the Washington Post reported at the time. Reynolds had declined to challenge the state’s plan.
Biden was reading from a court ruling — which cited a confidential memo written by Reynolds’ staff — to suggest Reynolds was aware of racial motivations behind the plan, and to question Reynolds’ commitment to voting rights."
During Friday's edition of #RolandMartinUnfiiltered, Black Conservative Derrick Hollie attempted to throw a curve ball during a debate and got fact checked hard over the alleged Biden n-word claim.
It would appear as if Roland fact-checked Hollie so hard, the Trump supporter hung up, shutdown his Skype and exited the show stage-right.
FYI ... When you appear on #RolandMartinUnfiltered please have your facts straight.
