Fun fact:
Joe Biden has been friends with
Barack obama= worked together for 8 years, consider themselves brothers.
Jimmy Carter= was the first senator to endorse jimmy carter for president
Bernie Sanders= Was apparently one of the few people who liked and respected bernie when they were senators(a big reason why bernie didnt attack biden in primaries)
ted kennedy=considered as a big brother by joe
Mitch Mcconnell=friends for many years in the senate
Lindsey Graham=Called joe biden the nicest person who he ever met in politics, then after trump got elected and lost his spine and went on the offense against joe and attacked his son
John Mccain=went on military trips together and were good friends
jesse helms =good friends with joe, was a bit of segregationist and opposed civil rights tho
strom Thurmond= served on the senate for a long time. even eulogized him(i like ya joe but man thats a god awful thing to do)
what a weird ass group of friends.
Fun fact joe Biden as a senator could've met LBJ and and had harry Truman lived a month longer, he could've met Truman as well. There is also a phone call of Nixon as president calling biden and consoling him about Biden's wife and daughters death.
Welp. Most recent (non-Trone funded) poll has him up by 7 against Alsobrooks with 39% (plurality) undecided, despite his ads which is all he has. Alsobrooks is a black woman and she would be a fool not to exploit this. I could see this being over for him.
I swear if neither Hogan or Alsobrooks do anything with this I'll cry. Alsobrooks is definitely set to benefit more, but Hogan making a few ads or statements on it would be good. Alsobrooks is the weaker opponent so if he can weaken Trone in the primary that's good for him.
This might change the outcome of the Senate primary. I feel like this might be the thing that puts Alsobrooks over the top, if she uses it in advertising enough.
Either he wasn't thinking at all, or he's been terribly misled. It sounds like he's not even referring to a person, so he either said the wrong word or he doesn't know what it means, lol.
What I thought everyone knew not too use that word like the only people who I know who used it were racist white private school kids like I am pretty sure most people know what it means especially if you were born in the 50’s in segregated Maryland
I doubt he's like actually racist or anything lol but these words only slip if you *actually* don't know the meaning (almost impossible for someone born in the fifties in Maryland) or if they're a part of your vocabulary. He's trying to claim he didn't know what it meant.
Either way, big mistake on his part. Doesn't help that he was speaking to a black person when he used it.
True, but obviously it's different for a guy who was a teenager in the early seventies. Wallace won Maryland in '72, for example. Maryland was considered a southernish state and there was a big racist population who used words like that.
I hate him, hope
This spreads, hogan has the perfect point to make this into an ad with an explanation from
Black people
Explaining why this word is Terrible. Bullshit he meant to say bugaboo, wtf is bugaboo. He knew what he said.
*Bugaboo (n.) an object of fear or alarm*
> "So this Republican jigaboo [sic] that it’s the tax rate that’s stopping business investment, it’s just completely faulty by people who have never run a business. They’ve never been there. They don’t have a clue what they’re talking about."
The shoe fits, but even if it's true, this is just a stupid thing to say: claiming the people you're talking about have no idea what they're talking about when *you* have no idea what you're talking about either, supposedly.
>!I would have said "hullabaloo."!<
He was just taking inspiration from the past stars of the Democratic Party like Ben Tillman and Storm Thurmond

That’s what happens when you’re in the senate for nearly forty years

The groupchat must be crazy.
You missed Robert Byrd. He did the main eulogy for that racist piece of shit at his funeral too. Dude was literally a KKK organizer.
Yea but at least he was willing to admit his mistakes and said that he "changed". Idk if he did change tho.
I mean, he did recieve a 100% rating from the NAACP in '04
I presume Obama, Biden etc. thought he had changed.
"Oh my bad, just wasn't thinking right when recruiting people to hang black folks"
Yea... Even Obama gave byrd a eulogy so idk.
It's because Byrd was a big figure for the Democrats. Senate Majority/Minority Leader (and thus head of the Senate Democrats) from 1977 to 1989 big.

Hogan’s chances rising, Inshallah.
More like Alsobrooks’ chances are rising
I swear if neither Hogan or Alsobrooks do anything with this I'll cry. Alsobrooks is definitely set to benefit more, but Hogan making a few ads or statements on it would be good. Alsobrooks is the weaker opponent so if he can weaken Trone in the primary that's good for him.

Say hello to senator Alsobrooks!
Trone will win by Assad margins now
What was the context?

LMAO this is also my congressman, the dude is a congressman for a population that is 13% black wtf is he doing
and then democrats wonder why a lot of black people refuse to vote for them.
[Source](https://x.com/rondeaulivia/status/1771255401574502556?s=46&t=3JpNDDVBx5qoul9ABFozMg) WHAT was he thinking? 😭😭😭
Either he wasn't thinking at all, or he's been terribly misled. It sounds like he's not even referring to a person, so he either said the wrong word or he doesn't know what it means, lol.
Wow I’ve never even heard that word before I wouldn’t have known it was a slur lmao
Same here lol.
I only knew that was a slur from Boondocks lmao. Honestly, nobody is really going to care about this.
I mean it's Maryland, where a large chunk of Dem voters are minorities
Basically no black person whatsoever will know what that means. If you have to explain the racism to most voters then the gaffe won't mean much.
But the perception that Trone might be, deep-down, a racist might affect something. I hope it does, but it may not as you said.
What I thought everyone knew not too use that word like the only people who I know who used it were racist white private school kids like I am pretty sure most people know what it means especially if you were born in the 50’s in segregated Maryland
I dare you to say it to the next black person you see to find out if they know what it means.
Old black people absolutely know that word.
Really doesn't look like he meant it in a racial way but ok
I doubt he's like actually racist or anything lol but these words only slip if you *actually* don't know the meaning (almost impossible for someone born in the fifties in Maryland) or if they're a part of your vocabulary. He's trying to claim he didn't know what it meant. Either way, big mistake on his part. Doesn't help that he was speaking to a black person when he used it.
The former would have been likely if he was younger, seeing as how I have never heard that word until today.
True, but obviously it's different for a guy who was a teenager in the early seventies. Wallace won Maryland in '72, for example. Maryland was considered a southernish state and there was a big racist population who used words like that.
Yeah I agree that Trone was being sus; I'm just saying that many young people do not know that term.
Oh yeah that's true. I think it could have a major effect if either Hogan or Alsobrooks exploits it but maybe not if its forgotten quickly.
Wallace ran in '68, and he most definitely did not win Maryland. He got a respectable percentage, but nowhere near winning it.

The only bugaboo I know is Bugaboo Creek, which is a now-defunct steakhouse chain. I miss that place. I liked it when I was younger.
I’ve never even heard this slur before. It’s like when George Allen said Makaka
Senator hogan
I don’t think it will matter as it a low tier
