President Joe Biden took a break from his many vacations to give remarks at a reception for the Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under the Law. But of course, he couldn’t resist telling one of his famous tall tales. This time, he tried to claim that he convinced the late Senator Strom Thurmond to vote for the Civil Rights Act. Can you believe it? Biden, the great peacemaker, transforming a segregationist into a champion of civil rights. What a joke!
But as expected, Biden’s story is complete fiction. Thurmond, a proud segregationist, opposed the Civil Rights Act in 1957 and 1964. No amount of Biden’s imaginary persuasion could change that fact. It’s almost comical how Biden tries to rewrite history and make himself the hero of the civil rights movement. Nice try, Mr. President.
But the fun doesn’t stop there. Biden also took the opportunity to spout his usual rhetoric about white supremacy and the need to “act” against hate. We’ve heard it all before. Biden loves to talk about taking action, but what has he actually done? His words are empty promises, just like his story about convincing Thurmond to support civil rights.

As conservatives, we know that Biden’s claims are nothing more than political posturing. He’s trying to pander to the left and rewrite his own legacy. But we won’t be fooled. We remember the truth, and we won’t let Biden’s revisionist history go unchecked.
In the meantime, while Biden continues to spin tall tales, he’s also racking up a substantial number of vacation days. It seems like every other week he’s headed to the beach or some other luxurious destination. I guess being president is tough work, huh? Maybe if Biden spent more time in the Oval Office and less time on vacation, we might actually see some real progress in this country. But I won’t hold my breath.
