Indeed, there’s zero evidence of Obama or any previous president begging for a meeting with a North Korean dictator. The pitiful “begging” opponent is a staple character of Trump’s fabrications. — PolitiTweet.org

Gateway Pundit said Harris was lying because Berkeley High was integrated before she was born. It was...but it’s the city’s only public high school, so it was mixed by necessity. Elementary schools were different. A committee found 14 of 17 de facto segregated in the early ‘60s. — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

Berkeley had de facto segregation, not complete segregation imposed by law — so there were a smattering of black students at Harris’s elementary school long before the integration plan was implemented in ‘68. But in ‘63, it was just 2.5% black. — PolitiTweet.org

A viral Gateway Pundit post accuses Kamala Harris of lying that she was part of the second integrated class at her school. She was correct. The Berkeley school district confirmed it to me: busing started in ‘68, she enrolled in ‘69. https://t.co/qYsXFWYImQ — PolitiTweet.org

Gateway Pundit said Harris was lying because Berkeley High was integrated before she was born. But...the city only has one public high school, so it had to be integrated. Elementary schools were different. A committee found 14 of 17 were de facto segregated in the early ‘60s. — PolitiTweet.org

The factual problem with Biden’s claim that he didn’t oppose “voluntary” busing is the very long record of categorical denunciations of busing as a concept. He called it “asinine,” “bankrupt.” At least once, he floated the idea of a constitutional amendment to “eliminate busing.” — PolitiTweet.org

We've corrected our fact-check on Bennet's claim about wealth and the top 0.1%. He's right, according to at least some economists. https://t.co/HxgGB7jPq1 — PolitiTweet.org

@CyrusToulabi @CArainmakers That's in the quote! — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

Biden campaign’s argument is that him saying in the ‘70s that he opposed busing was understood then to mean he simply opposed federal-mandated busing, not all busing. Like when GOP said under Obama they oppose health reform, was obvious it meant Obamacare, not all health reform. — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

Biden's campaign says that his position on busing would not have stopped the particular local busing program that Kamala Harris was a part of, since it was voluntarily adopted by the local community. In general, though: she was not mischaracterizing his opposition to busing. — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

It wasn't just words: working with avowed racists, Biden pushed legislation to make it difficult to run busing programs. There *was* a caveat: he said he would support busing in cases where it'd been proven that a community had been intentionally segregated. But otherwise no. — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

As recently re-reported by WaPo, Biden said things like this about busing: “What it says is, ‘In order for your child with curly black hair, brown eyes, and dark skin to be able to learn anything, he needs to sit next to my blond-haired, blue-eyed son.’ That’s racist!" — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

Biden's remarks on busing in the 1970s were generally very unequivocal -- "I oppose busing. It's an asinine concept." "A bankrupt concept." "Busing does not work." He expressed pride for making anti-busing sentiment "respectable" among liberals. — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

Biden's claim tonight that he only opposed federally mandated busing and did not generally oppose "busing in America" was a flagrant misrepresentation of his position in the '70s and '80s. He'd made crystal clear he opposed busing as a concept, as a matter of principle. — PolitiTweet.org
