However, Biden statements that one of the segregationist senators never referred to him as a “boy” has ruffled some feathers. Critics branded this statement as tone-deaf due to the racial history associated with the term “boy.”
Various 2020 Democrat candidates have come out in light of Biden’s work with these senators and called on the frontrunner to apologize. When asked about Cory Booker’s claims that Biden ought to issue an apology, Biden responded with the following response:
“Apologize for what? Cory should apologize. He knows better. There’s not a racist bone in my body; I’ve been involved in civil rights my whole career. Period.”
The Future of Biden’s 2020 Campaign
At this time, it is unclear whether or not Joe Biden’s presidential campaign will take significant hits in light of Hunter Biden’s issues and the connection to open segregationalists.
However, many Americans believe that Biden will need to issue a statement of sorts, at one point or another.
