Biden twice says he was ‘involved deeply’ in Civil Rights Movement — despite admitting in past he wasn’t

President Biden claimed twice on Wednesday that he was involved in the Civil Rights Movement as he courted black voters in battleground Pennsylvania — despite admitting in the past that he was not.

“I got involved as a kid in the Civil Rights Movement,” Biden, 81, told a group of black officials and local residents at a Philadelphia restaurant and jazz bar, repeating himself later in the talk and specifying 1969 as the date his supposed activism began.

“Like I said, in 1969, I got involved deeply in the Civil Rights Movement, and those of you who are Pennsylvanians know that Delaware used to be a slave state and a southern state and it’s that attitudes — I mean, for real,” he added.
