On Monday, President Joe Biden falsely claimed that he had “literally” persuaded former Dixiecrat Senator Strom Thurmond (SC), to vote in favor of the Civil Rights Act.

The President made this outrageous claim when he spoke at the Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law’s 60th Anniversary.

“Stop for a second. I thought that things had changed. I literally, not metaphorically, talked Strom Thurmond to vote for the Civil Rights Act, before he passed away, and I thought ‘Well, maybe there’s really progress’, but hate never dies. He said, “It just hides. It hides under rocks.”

Strom Thurmond, a former Democrat who joined the Republican Party, voted against Civil Rights Act 1964, before Joe Biden entered politics. He was only 21 at the time. Strom Thurmond died in 2003, decades after civil rights were passed.

1776 Coalition Sponsored Modern Day Maccabees Chanukah is one of the most joyous celebrations & it starts next week. Unfortunately, many soldiers, civilians and the 100 hostages are unable to celebrate. IDF soldiers (our modern-day Maccabees) are on the frontlines in winter conditions seeking to end this war & locate the hostages. Will you help the Genesis 123 Foundation show them your appreciation by providing Chanukah gifts to IDF Soldiers TODAY?.

Thurmond is not only the first person to vote against the Civil Rights Act of 1965, but he holds the record of the longest filibuster ever recorded opposing the Civil Rights Act of 1956.

Fox News reported that a White House spokeswoman later stated the president “was instrumental in getting Thurmond to vote in 1980 for the Voting Right Act.”

It is a serious gaffe, no matter what the president intended. He has, for example, said publicly that his son Beau was killed in Iraq despite the fact that he had previously served in Iraq. Breitbart reported that the president had made a similar statement in 2022, while delivering a speech to Colorado in order to designate Camp Hale a national landmark. He was discussing the sacrifices made by soldiers before citing Beau as an instance.

Biden stated, “I am a father to a man who was awarded the Bronze Star and the medal of conspicuous service, but lost his life in Iraq.”

The president claimed again the following month that Iraq is “where my son was killed.”

The president falsely claimed that Beau had died in the Iraq War during a conversation he had with U.S. military personnel. According to reports, the president made this claim while visiting troops at Marine Corps Air Station Iwakuni (Japan).

“My son served as a Major in the U.S. Army.” He said, “We lost him in Iraq.”

The New York Post reported that “the traveling press corps was kept far enough away so the remarks were not audible.”

The Post reported that “the White House Press Office did not release an official transcript almost allowing for the error to be overlooked by the public.”

The president called out to the now deceased Rep. Jackie Walorski, R-IN in a speech he gave at a White House function.

Are you Jackie? Biden asked, “Where is Jackie?”

He added, “I didn’t expect her to be here.”
