President Joe Biden on Friday reminisced about bringing back “the old days” in the U.S. Senate when he was able to sit down for a bite with “real segregationists” in Washington, despite disagreeing with them. “You know, things have kind of changed since the days when I first got there,” Biden told a crowd at a manufacturing plant in Hamilton on Friday, video shows. “I was there, I got elected when I was 29 years old in the United States Senate, from a very modest background. And I was there for 36 years before becoming vice president.“We always used to fight like hell. And even back in the old days when we had real segregationists like Eastland and Thurmond and all those guys,” he said, referring to former segregationist senators James Eastland (D-Miss.) and Strom Thurmond (R-S.C.).
