CLAIM: President Joe Biden “literally” convinced segregationist U.S.
Sen. Strom Thurmond to vote in favor of the Civil Rights Act.
AP’S ASSESSMENT: False. Biden had not yet been elected to the U.S.
Senate when the landmark law was passed in 1964, and Thurmond was
among the prominent southern Democrats to vote against the bill. A
White House spokesperson confirmed the president misspoke in his
remarks. He said Biden intended to refer to his efforts in the 1980s
to get Thurmond and other Senate Republicans to vote for legislation
renewing the Voting Rights Act of 1965.

When the AP news admits Joe Biden lied, you know he's gone way
overboard since the mainstream media spends so much time covering for
him.
