VERIFY: Fact vs. fiction on Joe Biden's quote about busing leading to a racial jungle' (July 2020 )
www.13newsnow.com
...
THE QUESTION
Did Joe Biden really say that busing policies for desegregation would turn public schools into "a racial jungle?"
THE ANSWER
In a 1977 Senate Judiciary hearing, Biden did talk about busing policies and how "unless we do something about this, my children are going to grow up in a jungle, the jungle being a racial jungle with tensions having built so high that it is going to explode at some point."
The quote in the claim that has been spreading online is false. Biden did not directly say, "I don't want my children to grow up in a jungle, a racial jungle."

@#28 ... But Biden was the only President I know of to give eulogy to a former KKK member. ,,,
Biden did not eulogize former KKK "grand wizard" (2020)
apnews.com
... CLAIM: When former KKK Grand Wizard Robert Byrd died in 2010, he was eulogized by Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden.
AP'S ASSESSMENT: Partly false. Biden did eulogize Sen. Robert C. Byrd when he died, but Byrd was not a "grand wizard" in the Ku Klux Klan. He was a member of the KKK in the early 1940s but later renounced his affiliation with the hate group. ...
But Biden was the only President I know of to give eulogy to a former KKK member.
Repentance, grace, and worked the rest of his life to fix the evil he did earlier in his life. He became an example of what a changed heart can do. Yes, indeed, worthy of Biden's eulogy. That was a great eulogy, too.
"Senator Byrd reflects the transformative power of this nation," read a statement by NAACP president Ben Jealous. "Senator Byrd went from being an active member of the KKK to a being a stalwart supporter of the Civil Rights Act, the Voting Rights Act and many other pieces of seminal legislation that advanced the civil rights and liberties of our country."apnews.com
So thanks for mentioning that. It's a great reminder that people can change for the better. I'd bet even you could.

DONALD TRUMP
Mr. REID. Madam President, virtually every time Donald Trump says or does something discriminatory--and that is often--the media relies upon a catalog of buzzwords to describe his actions. The press uses words like hateful, intolerant, bigot, extremist, prejudice, to name but a few.
Yet there is always one word that many of the press conspicuously avoid: Racist.
They never label Trump as a racist, but he is a racist. Donald Trump is a racist. ``Racist'' is a term I don't really like.
We have all, with rare exception -- I don't know who it would be -- said things that are not politically correct, but I don't know of anyone, when that happens, who doesn't acknowledge it and, if necessary, apologizes quickly, but Donald Trump doesn't believe the racist things he does and says are wrong.
He says them with the full intent to demean and to denigrate. That is who he is. ...
