Former Vice President Joe Biden\u2019s political legacy is in shambles because of the modern \u201cpoison\u201d of being able to charge someone with racism for potentially anything.<\/p>\n

In an appearance on the Fox News Channel\u2019s \u201cThe Ingraham Angle,\u201d Project 21<\/a> <\/strong>Co-Chairman Horace Cooper<\/a> <\/strong>said this reckless behavior has Biden \u201cliving on some borrowed time\u201d with regard to his political viability.<\/p>\n

After Biden made comments about being able to work with disparate political groups \u2013 including segregationists in his own party in the 1970s \u2013 his critics\u00a0used his comments<\/a> <\/strong>to portray the career politician as a vile racist. While not directly labeling Biden with the term like they do to President Trump, they have released a stream of accusations obviously meant to diminish Biden\u2019s reputation.<\/p>\n

During the Fox panel discussion<\/a>, Horace said that Biden should have directly confronted his critics to blunt their efforts against him. But Horace also pointed out that the flippant use of specious racial allegations is a practice in which Biden himself has engaged in the past. If anything, his current situation is a kind of karmic retribution.<\/p>\n

Horace said:<\/p>\n

He should have had a Sister Souljah moment<\/a> <\/strong>where he turned to Kamala Harris and explained to her that it was 2019 and the complaints that she was raising about busing isn\u2019t even popular within the black<\/em> community let alone within America broadly.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s what he should have done. But those who live by the sword die by the sword. He called out… his opponents [in the past] as racists \u2013 saying they\u2019re gonna hook you guys all back up in chains, and now it\u2019s come back to haunt him.<\/p>\n

He should never have used the race foil, and it\u2019s never a good idea to have that show up in a debate.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
