(62,325 posts)The drummed up 'controversy' is just that, a talking point aimed at one of Bernie's strengths, his lifelong dedication to Civil Rights, his history during the Civil Rights Movement, where was Hillary btw, his excellent ability to judge the consequences of legislation way into the future, all traits with the record to prove them, that makes the Status Que candidates look very, very bad.
It is a Rovian tactic, hoping to draw in honest people to keep it going. It is OVER, minorities ARE learning about Bernie for themselves regardless of the efforts to smear him BEFORE that happens.
And the more who learn about him, the more I see comments all over Social Media like this: 'wow, this guy has been our ally for decades'.
There is no need to defend Bernie, so I don't, his record and his votes speak for themselves, not so with the status quo candidates.
