Clyburn says he planned to stay out of Ohio race until he was called 'stupid'
House Majority Whip James Clyburn (D-S.C.), whose endorsement helped push Shontel Brown over the finish line on Tuesday in the Democratic House primary for Ohio's 15th District, said he did not plan to weigh in on the race until he was called “stupid.”
“I was going to stay right here in South Carolina minding my business until I got called stupid,” Clyburn told Axios on Wednesday.
The 81-year-old Democrat told Axios that he only decided to make an endorsement after Turner, during an economic town hall hosted by the liberal group The Young Turks, agreed with Killer Mike that Clyburn was “incredibly stupid” for supporting Biden in the primaries.
Clyburn also said he was frustrated by Killer Mike and Turner claiming that the only victory Democrats have gotten from Biden is the establishment of Juneteenth as a federal holiday.
He went on to name a number of accomplishments he says he has helped deliver during the Biden administration, including tenets of the bipartisan infrastructure package and the adoption of his antipoverty formula.
“These are creations, and to say all we got out of endorsing Joe Biden was a federal holiday?” Clyburn said. “That’s the kind of BS that sent me to Cleveland.”
