Woman Who Said ‘We Don't Need White People Leading the Democratic Party' Joins Biden Campaign
2019-04-26
[Free Beacon] Democratic strategist Symone Sanders has joined the 2020 Joe Biden campaign, despite her previous comments that white people should not lead the party.

The former Bernie Sanders spokeswoman and political commentator spoke out against former DNC chairman Howard Dean's rumored plans to run again for the position in 2016. Appearing on CNN, Sanders said that the next DNC spokesperson should not be white.

"In my opinion we don't need white people leading the Democratic party right now," Sanders said. "The Democratic party is diverse, and it should be reflected as so in leadership and throughout the staff at the highest levels. From the vice chairs to the secretaries all the way down to the people working in the offices at the DNC."

"I want to hear more from everybody. I want to hear from the millennials and the brown folks," she said at the time.

Now Sanders has joined the recently announced campaign of former Vice President Joe Biden‐who is neither brown nor a millennial‐as a senior advisor. In her announcement tweet, Sanders allowed that Biden "won't always be perfect."

#7  Biden is hoping to shore up the black vote in case anyone makes an issue out of his push on the Drug war back in the day, a push that resulted in higher sentences for crack (which was the black drug of choice) than cocaine (which was the white drug of choice). Doesn't matter that black leaders at the time supported such sentencing discrepancy any more than folks accepted weird touching more back then. They don't know and we live in the now.

#4  For the right money the Dims will do anything, but deep down, Mr Biden, you better watch your back Mr. Biden, after they are off the payroll and Trump wins. From the movie The Last Samurai:

#3  Any comment by any person denying a person employment base on Color is Racist.

Of course the person making this comment is not White. The person is clearly using the Race Card to promote the Liberal Agenda, raise $$$$ and secure her liberal political career.

Therefore being Liberal we will not see any MSM outlet demand she resign or that the Biden Campaign should discharge her.

#2  I agree with her - it's much, much better to have a belligerent, angry fat black broad who looks like a bull dyke & Mike Tyson's ugly bastard kid leading the party!

#1  I don't think we should hold it against Biden for a little personal foible like that he is sexually attracted to sucking feet. That's a private Democrat matter and we should ignore such things.
