Opinion: Democrat Sheila Jackson Lee Claims That Biden Did Not Really Make Bigoted ‘You Ain’t Black’ Remark

Almost every encounter I have with black people in our city has been friendly, pleasant and uplifting; where on earth do these angry, scowling people in Congress come from? TD

Analyzing America


. . . "During an interview on “The Breakfast Club” with co-host Charlamagne Tha God, Joe Biden, the presumptive 2020 Democratic nominee said, “If you have a problem figuring out whether you’re for me or Trump, then you ain’t black.”
     "Lee spoke on the topic during an appearance on Fox News.
     “ 'I mean, you would say to somebody in your district who’s an African American, who perhaps enjoyed the historically low African American unemployment, the support for historically black colleges and universities, the prison reform and justice reform, and they said, you know what, I’m going to vote for Donald Trump,” Baier said. “They are not less black tonight, right?”
     “ 'I don’t believe anyone who saw that exchange would in any way suggest that anyone is blacker, blackest, or less black,” Lee claimed. “That exchange was in jest, but on second thought, it could have been spoken differently.”
     “ 'And what I would say to you is that that was not what the vice president said in terms of those words,” Lee falsely claimed.
     "Bret Baier concluded the segment by saying, “He did say what he said, and he apologized.' ” . . .
