Cringing with Clyburn: U.S. Rep. Jim Clyburn echoed many people’s sentiments on The View today, when he said that former Vice President Joe Biden’s comments on The Breakfast Club radio show made him “cringe.” The presidential hopeful stirred controversy last week when he told host Charlemagne the God, a Moncks Corner native, “If you have a problem figuring out whether you’re for me or Trump, then you ain’t black.” Despite the cringe-inducing comment, Clyburn said he still endorses Biden.
