President Biden on Monday claimed to have "literally" convinced South Carolina Democrat-turned-Republican Senator Strom Thurmond to vote for the Civil Rights Act — when he was just 21 years old.
Biden made the claim while speaking on the 60th anniversary on the founding of the civil rights legal group, the Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law.
"Pause for just a moment," Biden said at the White House. "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," the president continued.
"And I thought, ‘well, maybe there’s real progress,'" he added. "But hate never dies, it just hides. It hides under the rocks."
While Thurmond and Biden were contemporaries in the Senate, the president would have been 21 at the time of the landmark legislation's passing — and nowhere near the Senate seat he won at 29 years old.
Additionally, Thurmond died in June 2003 — nearly four decades after the passage of the Civil Rights Act.
A White House spokesperson told Fox News Digital that Biden was instrumental in getting Thurmond's vote for the Voting Rights Act, in 1980.

Biden is so corrupt he can’t even lie properly..................
Biden just “says stuff”.
If it sounds kind of good, then the mission is accomplished. None of it has to be true.
Briben is such a lying liar that lying is his natural state, and he doesn’t even know he’s lying because he believes his own lies.
Boy Howdy, Joe’s silver (forked) tongue was as persuasive in 1963 as it is today.
Pedo Joe’s mentor and close friend was Sen. Robert “Sheets” Byrd (RAT-WV), a high ranking member of the KKK.
Joe can’t remember what he had for breakfast let alone something from 60 years ago. Biden’s a world joke of the sad state of affairs in this Republic. Worse yet, the world thinks the people of the United States voted this clown into office.
Biden may have confused the Civil Rights Act with an extension of the Voting Rights Act. Did Biden “literally, and not figuratively” convince Thurmond to vote for that? Most likely it was the changes in Strom’s state and in the country.
before he died ???
Strom was alive and kicking and dancing 20 years later...
I know I danced with him at a GOP Christmas party on James Island ...
He liked to dance with the young women
:)
He might be claiming he got Thurmond to say he’d have changed his vote some years later.
He is senile - part of his condition is a symptom called confabulation.
The same Biden who bragged about working and getting things done in the senate with segregationists like James Eastland and Herman Talmadge.
“Biden may have confused the Civil Rights Act with an extension of the Voting Rights Act.“
Yeah that’s it /s
“Biden’s a world joke of the sad state of affairs in this Republic. Worse yet, the world thinks the people of the United States voted this clown into office.”

There was a time when this country would not have tolerated this kind of national embarrassment, and it wasn’t all that long ago. It shows how fast our decline has been.
I don’t know if anybody has noticed or not, but there were a bunch of blacks protesting FOR Trump down in Atlanta. There was a poll the other day that indicated that blacks are shifting away from Democrats and away from Biden. It’s certainly not a majority of blacks, but there’s a shift anyways. There’s an opportunity here and I don’t see Ronna over at the RNC doing anything about it. Biden just gave a perfect setup for a political ad. More than that, Biden just gave the perfect setup for unified Republican talking points for the next three days: Democrats have only made things worse for blacks and they constantly lie to blacks. Republicans make life better for blacks, just look at what Trump did for black unemployment and wealth. Trump didn’t do it just for blacks, he did it for all Americans.

Or just simply dishonesty. 10% for the Big Guy don’t forget.
Biden makes a lot of “claims” that are complete and utter bullshit.
