'The exchange between her and Biden was powerful not only because of its rawness, but because it reminds us that history matters — and our political leaders should be held accountable for the role they play.' DemDebate
Biden immediately defended himself, saying his comments had been misconstrued."I did not praise racists, that is not true. Number one," he said."Number two, if we want to have this campaign litigated on who supports civil rights and whether I did or not, I’m happy to do that." He added that he's worked throughout his political career for the rights of people of color and the LGBTQ+ community.
"Vice President Biden, do you agree today that you were wrong to oppose busing in America then?," Harris insisted,"Do you agree?" Biden replied:"I did not oppose busing in America. What I opposed is busing ordered by the Department of Education. That’s what I opposed.
WATCH: Harris says she doesn't think Biden is a racist, but she talks directly to Biden about his having worked with segregationists on the issue of school busing.
