In reply to the discussion: Nina Turner: "Joe Biden has repeatedly let us down" [View all]KitSileya

He thought it would inflame racial hostilities. It's the ultimate in hypocrisy for Nina Turner to attack VP Biden on the issue when her candidate has done f%&k-all for African Americans since he was a college student. He refused to vote for the politicians that passed the Civil Rights Act and following legislation. In other words, he couldn't care less about the voting rights of Nina Turner and her ilk - he only started voting when he could vote for himself, never mind national candidates that championed Nina Turner's civil rights!
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
