For nearly 50 years, @JoeBiden has publicly pretended to have been a part of the Civil Rights Movement.
He's not "exaggerating" or "embellishing," he is creating entire fictional storylines to impress white liberals & connect w/ Black voters.
It must be confronted
A thread...
Under no circumstance would I ever vote for @MikeBloomberg.
He directly caused real pain and misery to people I know and love.
And bragged about it. I’d be betraying them. I spoke to them today.
I’d literally vote for every other Democrat.
He’s a bridge too far for me.

In my first job as a young reporter, I covered stop & frisk. Want to highlight story of Keeshan Harley, who was stopped 100+ times in Bloomberg yrs. I followed him around with a camera in summer 2013 for @GuardianUS doc and profiled him again in Jan 2015.

You have to hear some of these boys recount their frisks, the way the cops, a stranger, would often put their hands up between their buttocks, on the street, in search of contraband. How would this not feel like an assault if you were innocent as about 90% of them were?

Presidential candidate Bernie Sanders hits back after criticism from James Carville, calling the Democratic strategist “a political hack.”
“We are taking on Trump, the Republican establishment, Carville and the Democratic establishment.” https://cnn.it/2SDSFrb

When @ewarren says affordable she’s signaling she either doesn’t support or understand Medicare for all. This statement is VERY disappointing and feeds into the criticism that Warren abandoned her position on #medicareforall that people like me have spent MONTHS defending her on

This was not an isolated remark either. Heres Bloomberg being more explicit: “It was not the banks who created the mortgage crisis.”

When Trump was caught on tape talking about violating white women, liberals were aghast and called it disqualifying. Now that Bloomberg is on talking about violating innocent black and brown boys on a massive scale, those same liberals say “get over it.” #BlackBodiesMatterToo

WATCH: Michael Bloomberg defends “redlining” and says banks did not cause the financial crisis. Instead, he blames Congress for banning discrimination against black & brown mortgage borrowers.
Shaun King Retweeted
This is appalling and disqualifying.
In resurfaced footage being reported tonight by the @AP, @MikeBloomberg describes redlining as a rational and prudent tactic -- and blames the end of that discriminatory practice against African-Americans for the 2008 crisis.

In 2016, as Democrats were fighting hard to Flip The Senate, @MikeBloomberg gave $11.7 million TO DEFEAT THE DEMOCRAT RUNNING FOR SENATE in Pennsylvania.
He was the single largest donor in the race.
With his help Republicans won by just 2%.

Again, Bloomberg is not our friend.
In 2014 @MikeBloomberg gave $250,000 to help reelect Lindsay Graham to the United States Senate.

Stop telling me these guys aren't good buddies. I've got a hundred more of these.
@realDonaldTrump and @MikeBloomberg have been two peas in a pod for decades.
