know.

The WOC@#SheThePeople booed BS because he was asked a vital question.. and he tried to use his "I marched with MLK" to avoid answering about what he'd do to "fight white supremacists".

The boos started when he couldn't explain how he'll appeal to black women.

The BS team should have put their energy into figuring out how to win a room full of black women Before he came to #SheThePeople

It was too important for them to sit passively by while he droned on about what he did 56 years ago.. when the question was an important one for the here and now.

Then he sends Nina Turner to go out there and escalate it instead of addressing the problem.

John Lewis and other Democratic leaders were Booed by BS fans at the convention.. what did he have to say about that?

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
