Tommy Christopher argues that 'Joe Biden did not refer to Satchel Paige as a 'Negro'' by posting video of Joe Biden referring to Satchel Paige as a 'Negro'

Hey, so remember when Joe Biden referred to baseball legend Satchel Paige as “the great Negro”?

Was it evidence of Joe Biden’s racism? Well, we’ll leave that up to you.

But one thing that’s not up for debate is that he referred to Satchel Paige as “the great Negro.” Still, that’s not stopping Mediaite’s Tommy Christopher from disputing what we all heard with our own ear holes:

Our tweet even gets a shout-out in the article!

How about that?

Even more impressive than that is Tommy Christopher’s explanation for what Joe Biden ackshually said when he didn’t say that thing that he said:

The president obviously began to say “Great Negro League pitcher,” but then paused and shifted to saying “at the time, pitcher in the Negro Leagues,” which was, in fact, the name of the league that Black players formed when they were shut out of Major League Baseball. That this needs to be explained is beyond absurd.

Biden’s age declined by ten years since a few weeks ago, when he concluded the same anecdote by telling Pope Francis “You’re 65 and I’m 60,” and at which time conservatives spread the similar false claim that Biden called the pope “the famous African-American baseball player in America.”

This article literally has the transcript of him saying “I’ve adopted the attitude of the great Negro, at the time, pitcher in the Negro Leagues..”

You can say “he didn’t mean it that way,” or “he was trying to say something different.”

You can’t say “he did not.” https://t.co/oTb09agrN4

You can’t do that, Tommy.

You know, nowadays when I see our vaunted media whip out a tweet like this, I think, okay, so that's probably exactly what he said, and… well… watch for yourself. https://t.co/0zc5bmnEIX pic.twitter.com/HxAzlxgT7p

Every time the media whips out a fact check for a Democrat, I instantly assume the opposite must be true. I'm rarely wrong with this assumption anymore. pic.twitter.com/oQogd226kP
