64. Who asked her about why didn't she run for Senate?

It was an AA woman. Did you see the look on her face? She was serious.

We AAs expect people to put in the work. She hasn't. One of the same reasons why Buttigieg got nowhere in the AA community.

Go to daily Kos. Search for Denise Velez. Read her diary on why Abrams isn't qualified. I guarantee you Ms. Velez is an Afro-Latina woman who knows more about the AA community and AA women than you and me times ten.

She also doesn't think Michelle is qualified either. Read that diary and then come back and tell me why she's wrong and you're right.
