on why it's ridiculous and a SMEAR to comment on someone who considers himself to be a civil rights icon not attending this milestone civil rights commemoration....because he Marched with MLK!!! Which other Democratic candidates can say that, huh? So it's hypocritical to even mention Sanders not being in Selma if your candidate didn't attend the 1963 march.


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