Kweisi Mfume To Endorse Clinton, “Remarkable Colleague And Friend”

[Rose Siding]

WASHINGTON — Kweisi Mfume, the former president and CEO of the NAACP and member of Congress will announce his endorsement of Hillary Clinton for president today, a Clinton campaign official confirmed to BuzzFeed News.

The long rumored endorsement by one of the most visible civil rights leaders of the 1990s comes at the beginning of a busy week for Clinton, full of engagements in South Carolina. On Tuesday, Clinton will campaign with Sybrina Fulton, Geneva Reed-Veal, Gwen Carr, Maria Hamilton and Lucia McBath — all mothers of victims of police brutality who have endorsed her.

Both Clinton and Sanders will campaign in South Carolina during the run-up to the Democratic primary there, to be held on Feb. 27.

“For decades, Hillary Clinton has demonstrated her commitment to fighting for Black and Latino communities in both deed and action,” Mfume’s endorsement reads. “She is a proven leader with a long record of working for everyday people and getting the job done. She has been a remarkable colleague and friend who I know and trust.”

“I served in Congress with Bernie Sanders and know him to be a likable guy, but I know that Hillary understands our struggles first hand.”

4. The bus is in the shop

It's being rebuilt so that there's more room under it.

7. I think it's going to take magical math

to figure out how to make enough room for all the people that will have been thrown under it over the next months. Fortunately for them, magical math is kind of their thing.

10. Excellent!

I guess he's another bought and paid for shill? Or is he just terrified of HRC's vindictiveness? The things one reads on DU these days.

11. Or maybe he, like other "Blacks And Browns" are

"Being Led Into Committing Political Hara-kiri"

Yes that's the demeaning title of an article posted approvingly here at DU.

Don't know whether to or or put my hair up.
