Reporters struggle to remember segregationists touted by Biden were also Democrats

Former Vice President Joe Biden is catching hell from his 2020 Democratic primary opponents this week for claiming he had civil working relationships with pro-segregation Dixiecrats when he served in the U.S. Senate.

But perhaps as interesting as the sniping over the 2020 front-runner’s remarks is the fact that several journalists managed to omit from their reporting the fact that the segregationists touted by Biden were also members of the Democratic Party. It is just an oversight, I’m sure.
