He’s Shot: Joe Biden Claims He “Literally” Convinced Strom Thurmond to Vote For Civil Rights Act (VIDEO)

On Monday, Joe Biden spoke at the 60th anniversary of the founding of the Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law.  As The Gateway Pundit’s Cristina Laila reported, Biden, once again, asserted that “domestic terrorism rooted in white supremacy is the greatest terrorist threat we face in the homeland.” But the man who has falsely claimed numerous times that he was a “Civil Rights activist” told another whopper:  Biden claimed he “literally, not figuratively, talked South Carolina Senator Strom Thurmond into voting for the Civil Rights Act before he died.” There are several problems with this remark, the most glaring of which is that Thurmond voted NAY on the Civil Rights Act.  Not only did Thurmond vote “NAY”, he filibustered the Civil Rights Act for over 24 hours, longer than any other opponent to the legislation.  And Thurmond didn’t die until 2003, almost 40 years later.
