<p>President Joe Biden reportedly admitted that he had served in the Senate with &#8220;real racists&#8221; and segregationists — mentioning former South Carolina GOP Sen. Strom Thurmond by name — and then claimed that today&#8217;s Republican Party was &#8220;worse.&#8221;</p>
<p>According to a pool report from Wednesday evening, Biden compared Republicans to the men he&#8217;d served with who &#8220;set terrible records on race,&#8221; accusing the GOP of not believing in &#8220;basic democratic principles.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Biden tonight, per pool,&#8221; Roll Call chief correspondent Niels Lesniewski posted via X. &#8220;&#8216;I&#8217;ve served with real racists. I&#8217;ve served with Strom Thurmond. I&#8217;ve served with all these guys that have set terrible records on race. But guess what? These guys are worse. These guys do not believe in basic democratic principles.'&#8221;</p>

<p>&#8220;Time and again, Republicans show they are the party of chaos and division,&#8221; Biden reportedly added.</p>
<p>But Biden did not elaborate on his own personal history with those &#8220;real racists&#8221; — probably because he has a well-documented history of praising them and even eulogizing them, as several were quick to point out on X.</p>
<p>&#8220;Joe Biden repeatedly praised Strom Thurmond, called him his &#8216;closest friend,&#8217; urged him to run for president, and eulogized him at his funeral. All of these are recorded on video,&#8221; Sean Davis, CEO and co-founder of The Federalist, posted.</p>

<p>Video from a birthday dinner for Thurmond in 1993 showed Biden delivering very flattering remarks about the &#8220;son of the south,&#8221; the other half of his &#8220;odd couple.&#8221;</p>

<p>&#8220;&#8216;Sure, guys like Storm Thurmond didn’t want black people to vote. But at least they believed in democracy, unlike these clowns,'&#8221; social media user Varad Mehta mocked the president in an X post.</p>

<p>And while Biden did not mention the late senator and KKK Grand Cyclops Robert Byrd (D-WV) by name when he mentioned serving with racists, conservative strategist Steve Guest shared a video of the then-vice president&#8217;s remarks from Byrd&#8217;s funeral in 2010.</p>
