Joe Biden claimed to have started a civil rights movement during a recent address to the Mother Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston, South Carolina.
“I’ve spent more time in the Bethel AME Church in Wilmington, Delaware, than I have — than most people I know, Black or white, have spent in that church” Biden said. “Because that’s where I started a civil - no, I’m serious, I started a civil rights movement. I used to go to 7:30 mass, then I’d go to 10 o’clock service with the reverend who was then running the church, who’s now the bishop. She’s the bishop. And I’m told your bishop had been there before, in South Africa, because that’s where he is right now.”
The White House’s official transcript altered Biden’s comment to read “Because that’s where I started — no, I’m serious. It started with the Civil Rights Movement.”
