AP Photo/Alex Brandon We reported earlier on Joe Biden’s remarks at Arlington National Cemetery. During the remarks, he referred to the famous baseball player Satchel Paige as “the great negro.” Biden tells a story about “the great negro at the time” Satchel Paige. pic.twitter.com/VcyfHQkCEm — Townhall.com (@townhallcom) November 11, 2021 “I know that you’re a little younger than I am,” Biden joked. “But I’ve adopted the attitude of the great negro, at the time, preacher in the Negro Leagues, went on to become a great pitcher in the pros and Major League Baseball after Jackie Robinson, his name was Satchel Paige.”
So either Biden was so incoherent he couldn’t get the words out right or he was having a racist moment, you can take your pick. Neither one is a good choice and neither is acceptable when we so desperately need a competent person in that office. He also said “preacher” instead of “pitcher.”
As I pointed out there are a ton of racially questionable remarks in Biden’s past, so this isn’t the first one. In my humble opinion, he does have some kind of a problem.
But when you’re Joe Biden and a Democrat that means that you get a lot of media help in your defense.
Biden got some incredible spin from Mediaite’s Tommy Christopher who claimed no, Biden never called Paige “negro” and conservatives were all just lying. Conservative critics falsely claimed that President Joe Biden referred to legendary pitcher Satchel Paige as a “negro” during a Veterans Day speech — barely more than a week after pulling the same bit on Biden and Pope Francis. Variations on the same claim spread like wildfire among verified conservative Twitter users Thursday: that the president had referred to the late Hall of Famer as “the great negro at the time,” some even including a clip that plainly reveals the falsehood of the attack: Um, no, the video and even Christopher’s transcript of what was said that he had in his story includes that Biden said it. I’ve adopted the attitude of the great Negro, at the time, pitcher in the Negro Leagues, […]

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
