Joe Biden is a liar… I think we have established that fact already.
We also know the White House will spin anything he says as much as possible to cover for him.
On Monday, Biden did it again, and so did the White House, but both lies are so ridiculously outrageous that we could not look past them this time.
That’s Not What He Said
So, first, let’s cover what Biden said and please, realize the context here because it plays a big role in what the White House alleged Biden “meant” to say.
Biden was at an event to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the founding of the civil rights legal group, the Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, reported Breitbart.
Remember that… nothing at all to do about voting.
Biden stated, “Pause for just a moment. I thought things had changed. I was able to literally, not figuratively, talk Strom Thurmond into voting for the Civil Rights Act before he died, and I thought, ‘Well maybe there’s real progress,’ But hate never dies. It just hides, it hides under the rocks,” reported Fox News.
Any idea what Biden is talking about?
Strom Thurmond voted against the Civil Rights Act of 1964, he died almost 40 years later, and Biden was in college at that time… https://t.co/61khU6ijKJ pic.twitter.com/wxns7kZE4u

Here are the facts, and then I will get into the White House spin.
Thurmond, a longtime Democrat who later switched parties, voted AGAINST the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
Furthermore, the legislation was passed before Joe Biden had even entered the political world.
Thurmond also happens to have the record for the longest filibuster ever conducted and guess what it was against… You guessed it, the Civil Rights Act of 1957.
When the White House was asked exactly how Biden came about this statement, the White House stated that Biden “meant” to say that he was “instrumental in getting Thurmond’s vote for the Voting Rights Act, in 1980.”
No, he did not… Joe Biden was doing what Joe Biden does. He interjects himself into the story to make it about him, even if he has to make up the “facts” to make it happen.
Voting rights had nothing at all to do with this event, and that was hardly what Joe was attempting to say.
We know this because this is hardly the first time that Joe has made up stories to get himself central to the event.
