Joe Biden's Checkered Racial History

It is common knowledge that Rep. Jim Clyburn (D-SC) rescued Joe Biden’s floundering presidential campaign in 2020, rallying enough of the black vote in the Palmetto State to give Biden his first-ever primary win… and a clear path to the Democratic nomination.

It is also a historical fact that in that year’s presidential election, Joe Biden received 87% of the black vote.

All of which begs the question: what if the mainstream media had accurately reported Joe Biden’s racial history? Would black voters still have flocked to the polls to support “Lunch-bucket Joe”?

I guess we will never know but fortunately, Nikki Haley’s presidential campaign team put together a few indisputable facts detailing Joe Biden’s extremely checkered record when it comes to race relations.

Here is what Haley’s team uncovered…

Nothing more and nothing less, because that’s what career politicians do.
