Because you don't want to acknowledge the facts out there or because you personally don't want to believe it?

No, because you are wrong. They are not a racist movement.

You seem to think that caring about black lives means wanting to remove white lives, or hating white lives, or some other random crap. It's not a zero-sum game. Caring about black lives doesn't mean that one doesn't care about white lives.

I'm a full supporter of the BLM movement, and I assure you, I'm not racist, and I most definitely care about white lives, as I also care about Asian lives and all other lives. But the BLM movement isn't about the other lives, because other races aren't having their unarmed people executed in the streets at the rates that black people are. BLM focuses on one race. Other races are irrelevant to the BLM movement. That doesn't mean that those lives don't matter, it just means that the current focus isn't on them.

So once again, Hillary doesn't need to denounce BLM, because it's not a racist organization, and doesn't need to be denounced.

Republicans brawl, Clinton sails

That's how it works. The former is called the democratic process. The latter is an anointed leader with no challengers. Nothing admirable about that.

No it's not.

Getting up on stage, interrupting people, they did it to a presidential candidate, of course they did, that is feeling entitled and privileged.

No they don't.

They didn't stop and let Bernie speak, using foul language and threatening the violence, ahh, but there are more videos out there, a lot more of these thugs.

No they aren't.

Imposing that Black Lives Matters? ALL lives matters, all lives, NOT only Black lives. Beating a war veteran half to death and almost killing him, that's no different what the Klan would do, impose and intimidate.

Fair enough. The question remains what this has to do with BLM.

Already showed you.

Nope. It's because you are wrong.

So after reading this post, I can see you have absolutely nothing whatsoever to show them to be a racist organization.

I did, basically it's a group that believes it's privileged and has the right to be defiant and oppose anyone they like similar to the Klan. Maybe they convince you of that, but for the growing majority of the non-Kool aid drinking people, this is a group of thugs that have a chip on their shoulder.

You just don't like that the movement is about protecting black lives.

I just don't like racism or racists groups, they annoy me.

And that's why Hillary, nor anyone else, needs to denounce them.

She should, if she wants to taken seriously as a serious candidate.

Because there is nothing nefarious to denounce.

That's because you don't want to believe it, just like many in the Klan preach they are not racists. Nothing different.

I agree. Racism should be denounced. Even after watching your videos, I'm not seeing what that has to do with BLM.

Then watch them again or read into it, but not just the liberal bias sites, but there are enough facts and videos as well, just all depends on what you want to believe.

Are you trying to say it's a racist organization?

I'm not saying the organization is entirely racist, but many, many in the organization, play the victimization and the race card to the ultimate max and feel they have the absolute right to express themselves, verbally, physically and use almost any tactics to get their reverse racist point across without any repercussions or accountability. We shouldn't have to put up with a racist organization, even from Blacks.

If so, you'll have to show how.

I did. But there is this....

Tom Trinko referred to government statistics showing 93% of black murder victims were murdered by other blacks, and wondered why Black Lives Matter never protested against these murders. John McWhorter has argued that the Black Lives Matter movement should take on black-on-black crime. Seattle Seahawks Richard Sherman said about the "Black Lives Matter" movement, "I dealt with a best friend getting killed, and it was by two 35-year-old black men. There was no police officer involved, there wasn't anybody else involved, and I didn't hear anybody shouting 'black lives matter' then."

Nice, very nice and tolerant bunch.

And a couple of 'thugs' (wink wink, we know what people mean when they use that word) acting out doesn't make the organization racist,

Then they don't need to call themselves BLM if they are a tolerant group.

it makes those 'thugs' violent criminals that should be arrested.

A lot of them should be arrested, No doubt about it.

At the press conference where Christie endorsed Trump, a reporter asked Trump "Marco Rubio suggested that you were sweating backstage..."

Trump replied, "I'll tell you about backstage if you' d like. I walked back there and he's putting on a pile of makeup, putting it on his face, I said, 'Marco, easy with the makup, you don't need that much.' He looked like he just came out of a swimming pool, he was a mess."

This reminds me of North Carolina Sen. John "Pretty Boy" Edwards playing with his hair before an interview, lol.

But if this is a real story for the Liberals to grab guns then how come the Conservative news providers like Fox don't report this grand hoax?

No one on FOX believes that Trump doesn't know who Duke is NO ONE. He mentioned his name before when Duke support McCain, Trump called him a disgusting idiot. The only thing I think he should have done was admit, he waited too long and he screwed up, dropped the ball and then denounce him.

-5 ( +0 / -5 )

Well, murderers and child molesters can make political donations. But Trump doesn't know who David Duke is?

"The "main media," as you call them, is heavily biased and self- censoring." Yes, like the "story" that Obama created the Sandy Hook Hoax. But if this is a real story for the Liberals to grab guns then how come the Conservative news providers like Fox don't report this grand hoax?

@Nishikat. Do the research. Yes, it's there----and a lot more. The "main media," as you call them, is heavily biased and self- censoring. The point I'm making is that Hillary is not responsible for who donates to her or who supports here. Hillary has never supported NAMBLA and Trump has never supported the KKK. This may surprise you but you should be aware that sometimes counter-agents on both sides of the political spectrum have been known to make sabotage-donations to candidates they deem dangerous. Wonder if that's the case in this instance with Trump...

"You do know people have the Internet and can research these things, right? Come on....." So this means that you believe that GWB ordered the airplanes to be flown into the buildings on 9/11.

It's fun challenging ideas and the racism of Trump's troops.

Likewise with liberals and Dems.

The interesting part is how hard they seem to work to make racism acceptable. Hate the black? "Well, of course, they're black aren't they?"

But the Dems had a democratic senator that was a former KKK grand dragon. A sitting US senator. Robert Byrd. This what Byrd wrote in in 1944-

In December 1944, Byrd wrote to segregationist Mississippi Senator Theodore G. Bilbo: I shall never fight in the armed forces with a negro by my side ... Rather I should die a thousand times, and see Old Glory trampled in the dirt never to rise again, than to see this beloved land of ours become degraded by race mongrels, a throwback to the blackest specimen from the wilds.

— Robert C. Byrd, in a letter to Sen. Theodore Bilbo (D-MS), 1944

And let's not forget the lefts other hero president Woodrow Wilson and outright racist that believed that Blacks were sub-human.

The facts are clear enough. Asked three times if Trump would condemn the KKK he refused on live Sunday chat television. If anyone is making Trump appear racist it is Trump.

These are the ultimate sleazy tactics the looney deranged left constantly make, they love throwing boulders at other peoples glass houses, but are selectively in denial about their own hidden parties racism. Amazing, hypocrisy at its ultimate worse!

But you still haven't explained why you changed your mind about Trump supporters.

People can change, even liberals. Have faith brother, have faith.

You were calling them lunatics for a very long time until very recently.

Every dog has a bad day.

What exactly was it that changed your mind? It must have been revelatory.

A lot.

Again, why would she?

Why would she not? Racism is racism, they both should denounce it.

Just look at the Democratic party

Well, it comes to life on this site and that is an insult to every American.

So then why do Liberals wallow in it constantly?

Some are just too stupid to know that.

Trump’s campaign was recently named Politifact’s “Lie of the Year” for its many inaccurate statements, many of which are rooted in anti-Muslim rhetoric.

Then they must have the knives out for Hillary if that's the case,

Trump refuses to condemn the KKK.

So when will Hillary condemn the BLM.

Is there a pattern to the racism that binds Trump to his racist supporters?

But can you prove that he is indeed racist?

Again, why would they?

Why would they not?

Y'all know I'm a Sander supportin', Lib Dem an active member of the Democratic party. If you like insider baseball, wondering if Sander's has what it takes, and the direction of the party this fall, check out this excellent bullet point summary by Markos Moulitsas, founder of the Daily Kos"

http://www.dailykos.com/story/2016/02/29/1492734/-Democrats-South-Carolina-and-wrapping-up-our-primary-season

Highlights

Sanders''revolution' failed. It failed because it failed to reach black and hispanic voters. The former want to continue Obama's legacy (HRC says she's gonna do that), whereas Sanders is -- explicitly and implicitly running against it, and the latter came from or have recent ancestors where "revolution" is not a positive thing. Sanders' message may have resonated with browns and blacks if he had not been a Johnny-come-lately to the Democratic party and spent as much time in Nevada and South Carolina talking to hispanics and blacks as he did in Iowa talking to white farmer/

Money quotes:

Also, it’s hard to spark a revolution when you are arguing that your own party’s president has f***D sh$% all up. Especially when that president has an 81 percent approval rating among your party.

Trump refuses to condemn the KKK. Is there a pattern to the racism that binds Trump to his racist supporters?

Trump is scrambling for every vote he can scrounge-up. He's in the lead now for the Republicans now, but when it becomes a 2-man race for the Republican nomination, it's basically neck and neck. To top it off, Clinton is already beating him in raw votes just from the primaries. As such, Trump doesn't have the luxury of alienating the KKK or other white supremacist groups. He "disavowed" something (we're left with assuming he meant he's disavowing Duke's endorsement), but that only affects Duke. Repudiating the KKK has the potential to drop precious votes he needs.

"Trump refuses to condemn the KKK. Is there a pattern to the racism that binds Trump to his racist supporters?"

Hillary Clinton refuses to condemn the North American Man Boy Love Association (NAMBLA) which is a group that promotes older men having sex with young boys. Is there a pattern of pedophilia that binds Clinton to her supporters?

NAMBLA has contributed money to Democratic party and endorses Hillary Clinton. Does this mean that Hillary supports pedophilia? Of course not! Clinton has no control over who sends in contributions or supports her and if I made that claim certain hysterical posters on this board would wet their pants and they'd be right to do so. Of course I am not making that claim and to claim that Trump is a racist because David Duke may have--may have!---endorsed him is low-common demonator reasoning.

@Lizz

He has disavowed the support of Duke on multiple occasions -- most recently three days ago and again right after that interview. This was supposed to lead into a long discussion of the KKK that would segue into how they don't like immigrants, aren't you just like that, etc. it wouldn’t just be one question, he dealt with it on his own terms and time. KKK is a future soundbite taken out of context as a candidate you never want to get caught saying. Ever.

As you point out, he has had prior dealings with David Duke "support", so instead of having to deal with a soundbite situation, you have a candidate creating ANOTHER soundbite situation where he stares at the camera and blatantly lies that he knew "nothing about" the KKK and David Duke's involvement in it.

Asked about the endorsement on CNN, Trump said he knew nothing about it. “You wouldn’t want me to condemn a group that I know nothing about. I’d have to look,” he said.

Just one more lie he's heaped upon his cesspool of a campaign.

More whataboutism from the king of whataboutism. I'll try my oncemoreism; How exactly has Obama demonized whites? I'm white, I don't feel demonized. Do any white Americans here feel demonized?

Because liberals are living in the land of unicornverse, it's hard to know what's going on back here on Earth.

http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2014/dec/8/obama-legacy-race-relations-are-worse-his-watch/

More than half of adults say race relations in the United States have worsened under President Obama, according to a new poll. Fifty-three percent of respondents said race relations have gotten worse under the first black president, according to the Bloomberg politics poll. Nine percent think they’ve gotten better and 36 percent say they’ve stayed about the same.

Since he's been in office from professor Gates to Obama NEVER addressing the out of control Black crime in urban cities to Holder's comments we are a nation of cowards and the most infamous comment of country folk clinging to their guns and religion is a clear and overly exaggerated stereotype of Obama and how this admin. Thinks that Whites are the problem and when radical groups like BLM goes on a rampage, disrupting venues and getting into people's faces and demanding to have their agendas heard, even by force.

Here is the problem, everyone should be treated the same regardless of color and that hasn't happened under this president. If you say anything, you are a racist. Dems and liberals have overused the word.

Ah, yes... the sandbox retort.

Liberal translation, STOP reminding us, that we are equally flawed.

You never answered the question, bass, as you never do when you can't.

I do, but you guys are never satisfied unless it passes your quality control inspections.

In fact, I think pretty much EVER single statement you make is "why don't the dems...?".

Oh, I'm sorry for pointing out liberal hypocrisy.

Here's the beginning of every sentence of your post:

"Same goes for the Dems."

So now I'm the bad guy for pointing out the truth. As they say, "the Truth shall set you free."

"Not that different from you guys"

Exactly, but if you think I'm going to overlook liberal and democratic hypocrisy, you are so sadly mistaken.

"What, hate to hear the possible truth?" (the only non-"I know you are but what am I?" statement, which still does not address the comment you were quoting)

Sorry, if the truth hurts.

"Most Dems don't know anything about the Klan"

This is very true, because if they did, they couldn't and wouldn't make such outrageous statements about Trump without knowing the facts. If Trump openly admits he's a racist or you can show me that he is a card carrying member that advocates White Nationalism, you will get a full apology from me. But you know you can't. I hear Blacks make racist statements all the time, so I think they are all racists? Of course not. But when Whites say something racist, they just have to have great animosity towards Blacks and all other minorities.

"So when will Hillary condemn the BLM?"

Yes, when? Seriously!!!

Oops! You did have one more sentence in there that did not start off "The dems...".

Don't worry, anything you can dig up on the GOP, you have an entire smorgasbord of dirt that the so called holy Dems.

From the post before that:

"It's also not surprising that radical groups like BLM support the Democrats, that's equally disturbing."

It is.

"What you don't understand is Obama has completely demonized White people so much..." (follow a LONG rant about how 'Obama is racist' in reply to the question of why Trump does not denounce the KKK).

You don think that when you guys trash Trump, but bypass Hillary, it's not tedious as well?

"But Dems are actually proud to be with a radical groups like BLM. Heck, why not work together with the Black Panthers? Oh, wait......."

"Why won't Dems denounce the BLM? I want to know as well."

But hey... you're not partisan, right bass?

This is where I get a little bit annoyed with liberals, when I criticize the GOP you guys gloss over it, when I do it to Dems, you zero in on it. Seriously, I'm not the partisan one, but as always, believe whatever makes you libs feel comfortable.

I'm surprised Cruz is coming out talking about this since he was the speaker at an event that featured a guy who called for the killing of homosexuals in America. Surely he must know that people are going to dig up that story again.

I will say this, Cruz should have fired the guy along time ago, can't speak for anyone, but clearly the guy had serious integrity and ethical issues and good on him for firing the guy, unfortunately, it tarnished his reputation that wasn't really all that good to begin with, so at this point, he's on life support.

It would hurt him, because he's a weasel who claims he never does such things, whereas Trump just plays stupid or flat out admits he hates women, Latinos, etc.

When did Trump say, he abhors women or Latinos?

Trump is not a leader; Trump is a populist and a demagogue. He has no beliefs; he simply mirrors and magnifies those of his supporters. That is his greatest strength, for a supporter to repudiate Trump is to repudiate his view of the world, but it is also his greatest weakness - he cannot expand beyond those who already support him (excluding sycophantic opportunists like Christy). And such a foul creature could only exist and thrive in the malodorous swamp the GOP has become.

It would hurt him, because he's a weasel who claims he never does such things, whereas Trump just plays stupid or flat out admits he hates women, Latinos, etc. Cruz was nailed in an interview just yesterday about his campaign intentionally spreading disinformation and he got upset and cried that he never did that, so the interview fired back, "Then why did you personally apologize to Carson for doing so?", to which he couldn't answer and squirmed, and said he was running an honest and respectable campaign, etc. So if someone pulled that story out he would turn red and squirm and avoid talking about it, and it would make him look bad.

@bass Why don't the Democrats condemn the BLM?

To start with, there are dozens of millions of Democrats in the US, an array of individuals who hold a spectrum of beliefs, which should make asking about 'the Democrats' moot. Unless, of course, you live in a binary world.

I'll give you one of many possible reasons. A bit of history first: Many northern Democrats (sorry if adding a qualifier before Democrats busts your world) participated in the Civil Rights movements in the 1960's. They were appalled by the institutional racism and segregation of the time throughout the US, especially in the US south. Sit in the back of the bus? Separate drinking fountains? And much, much worse. They were appalled seeing pictures of Blacks who had been lynched. They were appalled watching TV and seeing Blacks set upon by truncheon swinging White cops and being savagely bitten by the cop's German Shepherds. (Youtube if you don't believe me. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-0lD37bq8YI) They were appalled by southern Democrat leaders (again note the qualifier) like Maddux, Wallace and Faubus who fought the federal government over admitting Blacks to state universities, among other racist practices.

I'll keep it short: many individuals who identify as Democrats believe institutional racism still exists, hence they support the aims of the BLM and vehemently oppose the KKK and other racist groups - and their candidates. Why would these Democrats condemn what BLM is doing?

"It's also not surprising that radical groups like BLM support the Democrats, that's equally disturbing."

"What you don't understand is Obama has completely demonized White people so much..." (follow a LONG rant about how 'Obama is racist' in reply to the question of why Trump does not denounce the KKK).

"But Dems are actually proud to be with a radical groups like BLM. Heck, why not work together with the Black Panthers? Oh, wait......."

"Why won't Dems denounce the BLM? I want to know as well."

But hey... you're not partisan, right bass?

Keep dreaming. But I keep forgetting, when Black people get violent, they are venting and being frustrated, when Whites do it, it's racist and provocative and inciting hate. Liberal hypocrisy at its worst!

And yet, when called on that, no republican has ever been able to actually give an example of how.

Same goes for the Dems. Never heard it....no, I'm sorry, I did hear something....excuses..

I mean, even bass4funk can no longer pull out the cut-and-paste,

"That's what you guys said about the Senate (or Congress)" when you point out that the Dems will slaughter the GOP in 2016. That's how easy it is to see where this is headed.

What, hate to hear the possible truth? Give me a break.

Donald Trump certainly has a strange perspective on the Klan.

Most Dems don't know anything about the Klan and they should, since they created it, like Trump or that liberal network NBC.

Reading of torture and sadism connects directly to Trump's campaign promises.

You mean, like sealing the borders, putting an end to illegal immigration?? That's so racist!

Obviously, Trump's refusal to condemn the Klan is part of his psychological make-up and willingness to entertain the racists who attend his loyalty rallies.

So when will Hillary condemn the BLM?

Please PT, grace us with your credentials, because you are wrong/uneducated as well. I crunched the numbers a long time ago and it works out, at its peak in 1936, one lynching a week on average. But to say that this was all the klans doing would be a typical emotional response that drives this board today. Most of the lynchings were done by white vigilantism, and NOT klan premeditated murder.

Still waiting for any Dem to acknowledge Hillays warmongering ways and her ambilical cord to Goldman Sachs and the MIC.

@Mark G Seems my lack of knowledge of the KKK has underestimated the number killed by the klan. RIP republicans and blacks murdered by the klan...

A lack of knowledge that the Klan was targeting Republicans post US Civil War and well into the 1960's suggests a poor education, or perhaps an unwillingness to be bothered with trying to learn the truth, or more likely keyboard snarkiness. RIP all who have been killed and attacked by the Klan for standing up to their terrorism. I hope those who continue to support the Klan as well as those who turn their backs on and distort their history and current activities are the minority among the US WASP population. Trump, by not outright denouncing them, is enabling them and the other heehawdist hate groups.

I support Sanders as Democratic nominee,but if Hillary will be democratic nominee,i will support Trump against her for sure.I dont bother much about his extreme announcements,simply because this is only for public use,but hard to put his words into action,but the most important thing about Trump is that he no dept for any lobby or cartel to be paid back as Hillary.

The Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill provided fines and imprisonment for persons convicted of lynching in federal courts, and fines and penalties against states, counties, and towns which failed to use reasonable efforts to protect citizens from mob violence. It was killed in the Senate by the filibuster of the Southern senators who claimed that anti-lynching legislation would be unconstitutional and an infringement upon states rights.

The striking similarity to today's American political experience is disturbing. The argument that State's rights would be violated if lynching were prohibited seems eerily like much of the political tactics of today's GOP ShiaTea. Still, Mr. Trump will not condemn the KKK. Why?

@Mark, the estimate you gave was zero, and you called the poster 'boy.' Given that the KKK has been around since 1865, and is detested by almost all Americans (see the story of how they were driven from Anaheim after their 1920s peak, to today where all they can do is rally a carload of members for a street brawl where they got beat down AND arrested), what was your point deflecting blame from the knuckle draggers with your 'they never kilt nobody boy' shtick?

Most of the lynchings were by hanging or shooting, or both. However, many were of a more hideous nature burning at the stake, maiming, dismemberment, castration, and other brutal methods of physical torture. Lynching therefore was a cruel combination of racism and sadism, which was utilized primarily to sustain the caste system in the South. Many white people believed that Negroes could only be controlled by fear. To them, lynching was seen as the most effective means of control.

The name "Ku Klux Klan" has since been used by many different unrelated groups, including many who opposed the Civil Rights Act and desegregation in the 1950s and 1960s, with members of these groups eventually being convicted of murder and manslaughter in the deaths of Civil Rights workers and children (such as in the bombing of the 16th Street Baptist Church in Alabama).

I think it's pretty indicative of the two parties and how they work as a whole. The Democrats have their problems, and some infighting, but on the whole they are talking about what they've done, what's worked, and what they plan to do. The Republicans? they bicker about who sweats more, who has big ears, claim that one of them "might be dealing with the mafia but we just don't know", have no idea what they're doing, and can't even talk about what they've done because all they've done is argue in the absolutely most childish way that ANY in history has ever been recorded in the US, and that's a low-bar to begin with when talking about Republicans.

I mean, even bass4funk can no longer pull out the cut-and-paste, "That's what you guys said about the Senate (or Congress)" when you point out that the Dems will slaughter the GOP in 2016. That's how easy it is to see where this is headed.

It's not even remotely surprising that white-supremacy groups support trump.

It's also not surprising that radical groups like BLM support the Democrats, that's equally disturbing.

The only thing at all surprising is that they publicly did so,

The Klan have kinda always been upfront about their ideology.

and when considering the things Trump says, it's not even that surprising.

What you don't understand is Obama has completely demonized White people so much, marginalized them that many think they don't have a voice. Obama was the first Black president that could have strengthened race relations, but him and Holder and aligning himself with one of the worst and most notorious racist "Al Sharpton" this guy poisoned the air. You have seen a jump on Black on White crimes, Whites have been so ridiculed for even being White and because Trump is willing to close the gap and not so much prop up Whites, but all Americans, it's the minorities that feel threatened and I don't really understand, we are all Americans, but liberals have to try somehow to stop Trump and pulling out yet again the race card seems the most viable and logical option for Dems.

It's probably just annoying to him that they wouldn't keep their mouths shut, as it's causing him to have to answer uncomfortable questions (what do you want to bet he never does another interviewer with the guy from the video), and denounce groups he may not actually want to denounce, but has to do so politically

But Dems are actually proud to be with a radical groups like BLM. Heck, why not work together with the Black Panthers? Oh, wait.......

It isn't a brawl. Trump has refused to reject the KKK and David Duke.

Will the Dems denounce the Black Lives Matters?

For all the crybabies? Trump himself confirms his allegiance to the principles and goals of the KKK.

He openly said that? Where is the quote?

President Trump wants torture, racism and hatred to define his making America great.

What's the difference between Obama obliterating terrorists without even interrogating them? It would be nice to get some info out of these guys, but instead, Obama just wants to off them, that's great, but gathering Intel is bad?

Trump is a loser and so are his racist fanboys.

As if Hillary is a winner!

As a help to Donald J. Trump, his newest and bestest buddy, KKK grand wizard David Duke has an interesting history Trump has no knowledge of and refused to condemn. Let's meet Donald's new friend.

Duke an idiot and an old relic from the racist past that people nearly forgot and the newly BLM group that believe in intimidation, brutalization and demonizing anyone that doesn't prescribed to their reverse racism. Do any of the Democrats call these thugs out? No.

The GOP ShiaTea has their candidate and their candidate has the KKK. They were, the three of them, made for one another.

But can you prove it? No, you cannot.

He has disavowed the support of Duke on multiple occasions -- most recently three days ago and again right after that interview. Trump can smell these gotcha questions a mile away. This was supposed to lead into a long discussion of the KKK that would segue into how they don't like immigrants, aren't you just like that, etc. it wouldn’t just be one question, he dealt with it on his own terms and time. KKK is a future soundbite taken out of context as a candidate you never want to get caught saying. Ever.

So judging by the thumbs down, libs are screaming and don't want to hear the truth, as usual. They feel more at ease in their comfort zone than to accept the harsh reality. As long as they feel good and fits in their liberal pragmatic viewpoint, why would they ever change that thought process?

KKK and neo-Nazis from what I know like only non-Jewish Caucasians. Mexicans are on both of their long lists of categories to hate. In on their list too Madverts, so don't even try and associate me with them like some others would also.

Trump started on the build a wall and secure the border platform. His "send them all back" follow up is all but impossible. He said that during the majority of the nation is tired of the Obama administration allowing illegals to just walk across the border.

Both radicle groups are few and no voice like when they were primarily democratic members in case you are unaware. Would kc slander Sanders if they supported him? Nah, he would twist it in his favor somehow in his mind.
