DONALD TRUMP; Congressional Record Vol. 162, No. 145 (2016)

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. ...

... 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. ...

...
[Intro: Afrika Bambaataa]
Speak about destruction
Speak about destruction
Speak about destruction

[Hook: John Lydon & Afrika Bambaataa]
This is a world destruction, your life ain't nothing
The human race is becoming a disgrace
Countries are fighting with chemical warfare

[Verse 1: Afrika Bambaataa]
Not giving a damn about the people who live there
Nostradamus predicts the coming of the Antichrist
Hey, look out, the third world nations are on the rise

The Democratic-Communist relationship
Won't stand in the way of the Islamic force
The CIA is looking for other tactics
The KGB is smarter than you think
Brainwash mentalities to control the system
Using TV and movies, religions of course

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."
