FLASHBACK: Ex-Dem lawmaker supporting Biden invoked his dad’s age in 2019 attack on Biden’s stamina

A former Democrat lawmaker in South Carolina, who has donated thousands of dollars to President Biden's re-election campaign, warned about Biden's age in 2019 while supporting Vice President Kamala Harris's failed presidential campaign.

"Joe Biden has been running for president since before I was born," Bakari Sellers told Politico in 2019 while serving as a surrogate for the Harris campaign.

"Joe Biden is nearly 80 years old and he’s running to be president of the United States," Sellers said. "My dad was president of an HBCU and will be 75 this year and his doctors told him he couldn’t do it anymore."

Sellers, a CNN political analyst who formerly served in South Carolina's House of Representatives from 2006 to 2014, said his dad, who served for 7 years as the president of Voorhees College, a South Carolina historically black college, "didn’t have the energy and strength to lead that campus anymore." He went on to say it "doesn’t mean he wasn’t a great man and a great leader and a great visionary."

"It is a justifiable conversation," he continued.

Sellers also took aim at presidential candidates Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren over age concerns during the Democratic presidential primary in 2019.

"The three front-runners are all older than Ronald Reagan was when he took over," Sellers said. "Democrats are afraid of criticism, which is silly to me. But we are going to have a contentious primary on vigor and issues about fitness to be president."
