    While you are fantasizing about all the mean online things I’m supposedly doing but not actually doing and have never actually done and don’t even know about, I’m out eating breakfast with the kids in Denver at the bagel deli.

    We are earning Black votes in SC. Anyone who feels they’ve got a constituency’s 🗳 on lock needs a history book! A candidate’s record matters. Who kept close & who he praised matters! I said what I said & I’ll say it again.

    Bold ideas...like Pete helping block Medicare for All, tuition-free college and a Green New Deal
