During his speech at the Atlanta University Center Consortium in Georgia on Tuesday urging Congress to pass the Freedom to Vote Act, the president referenced the governor who infamously said "Segregation now, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever" during his inaugural speech in 1963.

That same year, Wallace also stood at the door of Foster Auditorium at the University of Alabama in an attempt to stop Black students from enrolling at the school.

Wallace died in 1998 aged 79.

Biden named Wallace as an opposing example to civil rights icon Dr. Martin Luther King while highlighting why elected officials should back the Freedom to Vote Act, which aims to make it easier for people to cast their ballots in elections and combat voter suppression laws which have been drawn up in Republican states.

"I ask every elected official in America: How do you want to be remembered?" Biden said.

"At consequential moments in history, they present a choice: Do you want to on the side of Dr. King or George Wallace?

"This is the moment to decide to defend our elections, to defend our democracy."

As noted by the House Republicans, Biden "once bragged about being praised" by Wallace.

The House Republicans tweeted out a Detroit Free Press article from 1987 in which sates Biden, then Senator for Delaware, reminded people that Wallace called him an "outstanding young politician."

While also sharing the newspaper clipping, conservative commentator and radio host Dana Loesch added: "Biden not having a good night after saying 'Do you want to be on the side of Dr. King or George Wallace?"

Pastor Darrell Scott, CEO of the National Diversity Coalition for Trump, tweeted: "Everyone Joe Biden cited today as 'villians'; George Wallace, Bull Connor, and Jefferson Davis, were Democrats. Let that sink in..."

Fox News presenter Greg Gutfeld also condemned the comments during an appearance on The Five on Tuesday.

"It's just great when he mentions George Wallace because, whose side was George Wallace on? He was on Joe Biden's—Joe Biden bragged about the fact George Wallace liked Joe Biden," Gutfeld said.

The Philadelphia Inquirer reported in September 1988 that Mr. Biden, while campaigning in Alabama that year, "talked of his sympathy for the South, bragged of an award he had received from George Wallace in 1973 and said 'we (Delawareans) were on the South's side in the Civil War.'"

Looks like Biden* forgot his ties to George Wallace, or at least his script writer hopes that you have.

LOL...

I know it's not your fault Joe*. If you weren't loaded up on a cocktail of gumment drugs every morning you wouldn't even remember your own name anymore.
