Bill de Blasio bashed the Joe Biden, saying, 'It’s past time for apologies or evolution' from him
Former Vice President Joe Biden faced a growing backlash on Wednesday for naming two Southern segregationist senators as examples of people with whom he had major disagreements but still "got things done" with in the Senate.
He called Talmadge “one of the meanest guys” he ever knew but said, “At least there was some civility. We got things done." He said he knew many people in his party thought that attitude made him too "old-fashioned" to be the Democratic nominee to take on President Donald Trump in 2020.
