seriously, why would she even say that if there were not some shred of truth, or think it would be funny? No one goaded her into making that "joke". For instance no one said "Gee, with your fighting spirit, good thing you are on OUR side!" which a reply like that may have made more sense as a joke. But just to voluntarily throw that out there? At best, it sounds like it is coming from a very cynical bitter soul.
Also she sounds like a real Bible thumper on top of it. That usually does not bode well for any progressive credentials.
It is outlandish that any true progressive, who wants ALL lives to matter (yes I said it) no matter what your race, sexual orientation, or where you came from, would side with someone so deluded by irrational hatred and xenophobia that she would accuse anyone white and liberal in the Washington area as all being "liberal white supremacists" (which is the ultimate oxymoron). To shit all over the largest group of allies you have (liberal Americans who are, by demographics, obviously mostly Caucasian) which includes Bernie Sanders, is not only rude, misguided, but stupid beyond belief, as she is only tarnishing BLM. .....or she WAS approached by Republicans and was paid to disrupt and help push in the wedge between the black community and the best candidate they could ever dream of to advance the rights and protection of black American lives.
