Joe and Jill Biden on Tuesday hosted a White House Congressional picnic on the South Lawn.
Kamala Harris joined the Bidens and stood next to Joe while he delivered remarks.
Joe Biden once again brought up the good old days of having lunch with segregationist James Eastland.
WATCH:
Biden has a history of speaking fondly of James Eastland.
In May Biden reminisced of the good old days when he would lunch with “real segregationists” during remarks in Ohio.
“Even back in the old days when we had real segregationists — like [James] Eastland and [Strom] Thurmond and all those guys — at least we’d end up eating lunch together,” said Biden.
