(8,175 posts)28. It's just a coincidence that it happened all together, right?
Sorry. Brock was involved in this whole smear campaign to discredit Bernie's creds with civil rights and African Americans.
Mr. Sanders released a 60-second commercial in Iowa on Thursday that features the Simon and Garfunkel song America and that seeks to remind his supporters how far he has come since declaring his candidacy.the advertising presented a bizarre image of America focused on white voters. Mr. Brock also said the ad was a significant slight to the Democratic base, according to the news agency.
From this ad it seems black lives dont matter much to Bernie Sanders, Mr. Brock told The Associated Press.

It's a well orchestrated smear campaign, and no accident that AA's (Capehart and Lewis) are involved in it.
