19. This is why Joy Ann Reid is my favorite MSNBC talking head.

As a Black Democrat, I've been upset by the way the media and the Sanders campaign has handled the entire crime bill. There are no clean hands and it should be a much more nuanced debate rather than a club used to bludgeon (hypocritically as Joy pointed out) the first lady at the time in order to bolster Sanders pitiful African American outreach efforts.

The fact that Weaver attempted to bring up Super Predators with glee also infuriated me. You can't claim offense to a word and then use it all willy nilly when you want to score points. And don't even get me started on the fact that he used it as a cheap comeback when challenged by a black woman.
