President Biden raised eyebrows during his trip to Ohio when he reminisced about his time in the Senate when he broke bread with "real segregationists."
Biden visited the United Performance Metals facility in Hamilton and was accompanied by both Ohio senators, Democrat Sherrod Brown and outgoing Republican Rob Portman.
"You know, things have kind of changed since I first got there… I got elected there when I was 29 years old to the United States Senate from a very modest background. And I was there for 36 years before becoming vice president," Biden said Friday. "We always used to fight like hell even back in the old days when we had real segregationists like Eastland and Thurmond, all those guys, but we ended up eating lunch together. Things have changed. We got to bring it back."
The president told Portman he was "sorry" that the lawmaker was leaving the Senate because he's "one of the good guys" because of the way he treats his peers.
Critics lambasted Biden for boasting about his past ties with the pro-segregation lawmakers.
"Segregationists were famously chill about who got to eat lunch together," National Review senior writer Dan McLaughlin quipped.
"Nothing like a hot lunch with a segregationist… " political commentator Dave Rubin tweeted.
"[O]f course you ate lunch together. [Y]ou were allowed to sit at their counter," National Journalism Center program director Becket Adams pointed out.
"Brunch with Bigots, am I right?!" The Lafayette Co. president Ellen Carmichael exclaimed.
"For one, Biden admitting just casually sharing meals with ‘real segregationists’; second, ‘real segregationists’ seems to be an implied admission that when he says stuff today like 'Jim Crow 2.0', he knows it's not real," Pluribus editor Jeryl Bier wrote.

“Joe Biden be like ‘ultra MAGA is so extreme and I just long for the days of when I could eat lunch with segregationists,’” Abigail Marone, press secretary for Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., swiped the president.
JOE IS DUMB.
Biden is approximately 1,500 years old. He looks and sounds a little older than that.
Of course Joe had lunch with these people — they were all fellow Democrats.
The were the top leaders of the Democrat Party in those days - appointed to chair powerful Senate committees and other top leadership positions. It is the Democrat Party’s heritage.

Corn Pop was a bad dude and he ran some bad boys.

To compare Biden’s brain with that of a tree stump would be an insult to tree stumps.
Only the usual suspects attacking him. No one from the left.
Today, we have real segregationists in every classroom teaching CRT.
Strom Thurmond, of course, did not wade ashore at Normandy. At age 41 he landed in Normandy in a glider and during the campaign earned a bucket full of medals.
I wouldn't mind having had lunch with him or other WWII veterans - but only after telling them I was morally superior to them.

We should eave him alone and let him carry on. He digs his own holes very well by himself.
Joetato Brandon: “If you have a problem figuring out whether you’re for me or Trump, then you ain’t a real segregationist!”
“but only after telling them I was morally superior to them”
You wouldn’t do that, but I can sure think of a few who do that every day.
I bet Corn Pop and Biden were meeting on the down low.
You heard it her first folks.
