Dick Durbin says Biden may have gone 'a little too far' comparing opposition to segregationists "It is stark, and I will concede that point," Durbin said.
Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) admitted on Wednesday that President Joe Biden may have gone "a little too far in his rhetoric" the day prior when he compared opponents of his filibuster and voting agenda to segregationists.
CNN's Jake Tapper asked Durbin whether it was "stark" for Biden to compare fellow Democrats who disagree with him on changing the filibuster such as Sens. Joe Manchin (W.V.) and Kyrsten Sinema (Ariz.) to Confederate President Jefferson Davis and segregationists George Wallace and Bull Connor.
