On Thursday, President Joe Biden claimed that some white people “still want to” lynch black people.

Notably, in 2010, Biden gave the eulogy at Robert Byrd’s funeral, an “exalted cyclops” of the KKK.
Biden made his comments during a White House movie screening for “Till,” a film about Emmett Till, the 14-year-old black boy who was lynched in Mississippi in 1955.
“You know, folks, lynching is pure terror, enforcing the lie that not everyone belongs in America and not everyone is created equal,” Biden said. “Pure terror to systematically undermine hard-fought civil rights. Innocent men, women, children hung by a noose from trees. Bodies burned, drowned, castrated.”
“Their crimes? Trying to vote. Trying to go to school. Trying to own a business. Trying to preach the gospel. False — false accusations of murder, arson, robbery,” Biden claimed. “Lynched for simply being black, nothing more. With white crowds, white families gathered to celebrate the spectacle, taking pictures of the bodies and mailing them as postcards.”

“Hard to believe, but that’s what was done. And some people still want to do that,” Biden claimed.
