President Joe Biden, at a fundraiser in San Francisco, made a striking comparison between current Republicans in Congress and the segregationists he worked with in the past, including Strom Thurmond. He stated that today's GOP lawmakers are 'worse' than those he termed as 'real racists' he served with during his tenure as a senator starting in '72. Biden emphasized that the current Republicans do not believe in basic democratic principles, marking them as a departure from even the segregationists of the past. His remarks have sparked a debate, with House Speaker Mike Johnson criticizing Biden for his comments, accusing him of furthering division. This comparison has ignited discussions on the state of political discourse and the implications of such comparisons on bipartisan relations.
