Joe Biden exploded at a Democratic Senate colleague for blocking anti-busing legislation in the Judiciary Committee in 1977, calling him a “dirty bastard” and a “son of a bitch” during the hearing, the Washington Free Beacon reports.
The incident was recounted in former Sen. James Abourezk’s (D-SD) book, Advise & Dissent: Memoirs of South Dakota and the U.S. Senate.
