38. Here is the context the OP is hiding from you

Tue May 24, 2016, 04:36 PM

May 2016

In this cherry picked, out of context OP. Oh what a tangled web we weave, when we choose to deceive.

Cornel West ‏@CornelWest 24 Aug 2015
Brother Bernie and Brother Trump are authentic human beings in stark contrast to their donor-driven opponents.

Cornel West ‏@CornelWest 24 Aug 2015
Yet only Bernie has authenticity and integrity, whereas Trump is for real but not for right.

Cornel West ‏@CornelWest 24 Aug 2015
Trump's attacks on precious Mexican brothers and sisters are unconscionable -- even as his blessed mother was born in Scotland...

Cornel West ‏@CornelWest 24 Aug 2015
...and grandfather (Mr. Drumpf) was born in Germany. #Trump

Cornel West ‏@CornelWest 24 Aug 2015
Trump's kind of nativistic hostility could have excluded them.

Cornel West ‏@CornelWest 24 Aug 2015
His unpatriotic complicity with the plutocratic corruption of our political system for over 30 yrs calls into question his integrity #Trump

Cornel West ‏@CornelWest 24 Aug 2015
And calls into question his commitment to "make America great again." #Trump

Cornel West ‏@CornelWest 24 Aug 2015
My endorsement of Brother Bernie in the primaries is not an affirmation of the neo-liberal Democratic Party...

Cornel West ‏@CornelWest 24 Aug 2015
My endorsement of Brother Bernie is not a downplaying of the immorality of the ugly Israeli occupation of Palestinians...

Cornel West ‏@CornelWest 24 Aug 2015
I endorse Brother @BernieSanders because he is a long-distance runner with integrity in the struggle for justice for over 50 years.

Cornel West ‏@CornelWest 24 Aug 2015
Now is the time for his prophetic voice to be heard across our crisis-ridden country. #BernieSanders

Cornel West ‏@CornelWest 24 Aug 2015
We will push him with integrity toward a more comprehensive vision of freedom for all. @BernieSanders #BernieSanders2016

Hillarians read that as West supporting Trump. No wonder no one trusts her. immoderate May 2016 #65

Cornel West deliberately put out that out as a single tweet. He can't undo it by saying pnwmom May 2016 #74

He put it out as part of a dozen or so tweets AgingAmerican May 2016 #75

Anyone who tweets knows that each tweet will be read and understood out of context. pnwmom May 2016 #76

You are making excuses for dishonesty AgingAmerican May 2016 #78
