The Fact check:
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.— Daniel Dale (@ddale8) June 28, 2019
Recall that Barack Obama once evoked states’ rights too. He changed his mind. Biden should have just said he changed his too.
