I think what the #Hillary campaign is doing is despicable. Theyve prepped my family to attack me in the media. She'll do anything to win.

I shut down every reporter that tried to start the shit... When i was in SC i never took the bait... Some folks will do anything to win #HRC

She never showed up before the election... Next folk are getting rolled out AT THE DEBATE??? Im waiting for the chitterlings to show up.

I used my airtime to go after the Mayor that keeps killers on the payroll and to demand justice for my father... Why yall not doing the same

There isnt an age divide... The is a very real and very sad consciousness divide... If they knew they were slaves...

She also supports #Rahm who we all know attempted to cover up LaQuan McDonald's death and probably others. We are ALWAYS their sacrifice

For example. How do you stand with a woman that was reported by the huffpo that your son deserved to be punished?

She always talks about being attacked... What if it were your grand daughter? Would you EVER smear her in the press? #HRC

Example 2: she stands tall with Bill De Blasio who is paying your sons killer a bounty by keeping him on the public payroll.

1. She's only going to use you a little bit longer

Just till November. Then she'll ignore all your problems till 2020. It's what she does.

[dana_b]

2. that poor lady

she's been through enough. Her father's death has become this political talking point and those who are responsible are still not held accountable. What a nightmare.

[jillan]

3. Heartbreaking.

Did you see on twitter that Newsweek asked to do a piece on this?
Taylor Wofford ‏@taylorjwofford 20m20 minutes ago
@es_snipes Wanna talk about it? [e-mail].

[Mufaddal]

4. Yeah I saw, we'll see if she takes him up on it

I am still trying to sort out what is happening. Seems weird they would prep an attack line like this while the south is still voting. But then, Hillary's campaign has always been its own worst enemy. Being seen as attacking Erica Garner right now would play badly across the board, of course, not just in the south. Honestly, I'd expect that they'd send Brock out to do this kind of dirty work.

[Fawke Em]

21. Maybe they are sending out Brock.

But that might as well be the Hillary campaign for all points and purposes.

[Fawke Em]

20. I hope she does.

After Hillary paraded those poor women who's family members had been killed by police at the Town Hall last night, she deserves everything she gets.

It reminded me of putting slaves on display to be sold. It was disgusting.

6. I am so sorry. nt

[retrowire]

8. Wait how is Hillary attacking Erica Garner? What did I miss? nt

[Mufaddal]

9. I don't think you've missed anything... yet.

From the tweets, it looks as if she has learned that the Clinton campaign has prepped her grandmother (Eric Garner's mother who has endorsed Hillary), Gwen Carr--and possibly other family members--to attack her (Erica) in the press.

My guess is that we'll know more fairly soon.

[Duval]

14. Why on earth would they attack Erica?

I don't understand, but it sounds terrible.

[lunamagica]

15. I don't think her own family would do that

[Mufaddal]

16. Too early to say

My guess is that it won't be an "attack" because that would backfire horribly. But I would not be surprised to see that Team Clinton has prepped her grandmother--in case she is asked about Erica's support for Sanders--to say something like, "Oh, well, she's young and she doesn't really get it" or something to that effect. In other words, to be just dismissive enough to gently undercut Erica's endorsement. But who knows; like I said, that's just a guess.

[Fawke Em]

22. Judging from the back and forth on her Twitter page - and that's ALL I have

to go on - yes, HRC is trying to pit the Garners against one another.

That's despicable.

[Skwmom]

28. My God will the exploitation never stop.

[Duval]

32. It is possible for her to say something like that.

She can be so dismissive, like the pictures of her swatting flies. I'll be supportive to Erica however I can. I'm so sorry, Mufaddal.

[Mufaddal]

33. Wait, why apologize to me?

I'm just quoting content from her Twitter account. I have no connection to this beyond being an observer.

Just to be clear, I mean.

[JudyM]

12. Too busy BD partying!

[dr60omg]

10. My heart breaks for you on so many levels

I know what they can do to families as they split them into pieces never to be made whole again. Know that there are people out there that may not even be involved in the political process or power games that stand with you with a loving embrace and in solidarity.

You are not alone, you are never alone.

[JudyM]

11. The "consciousness divide" -- she hit that nail on the head.

There isnt an age divide... The is a very real and very sad consciousness divide... If they knew they were slaves...

Poignant and true.

[WillyT]

13. Christ...

[farleftlib]

17. Every time

I think the Clinton campaign has sunk so low they couldn't go any lower, they surprise me!

They should leave that poor woman alone. She lost her father and supports BS. Deal with it. I can't believe they'd recruit other family members. It's so slimy it's unconscionable.

[democrank]

18. So sorry this is happening to Erica Garner.

She made an excellent point about Clinton`s support for Rahm Emanuel.

[Mufaddal]

19. I'm still hoping it will turn out to be a misunderstanding

But yes, her points about Rahm and de Blasio were more than fair.

[Skwmom]

29. That has really disturbed me and others that I know. They executed a teenager and weren't going to

prosecute anyone.

[MisterP]

31. Rahm is indeed the crux of all this: everyone paying attention says that the party's

been turned into a typical machine--you appeal to each group, they vote for you, you MAYBE give them the bare minimum of good governance and whip them up into a screaming frenzy

more importantly, Rahm *got Chicago's White votes AND Black votes*: machine politics is so dangerous because it reduces voters to their voting bloc and makes them respond to multiple, contradictory, and simultaneous dogwhistles--like the famous blue- and white-collar "Reagan Democrats" who wanted their jobs but no regulations, who wanted to earn money in the cities but put the money into local property taxes in their burbs (and keep Those People far away)

and that's why "Rahmism" or whatever is the key to both the Obama presidency and to Hillary's '16 run

[iamthebandfanman]

23. we must break free!

from oppression where ever it may come from.. even if that's the democratic bosses and elite!

money controls everything!

nothing will get done until its fixed!

as Erica said...

IF they only knew they were SLAVES!

[Skwmom]

24. Erica is one strong woman. This stuff is really messed up. n/t

[roguevalley]

38. I ache for her pain.

[Fearless]

25. So where are the Hillary justifiers now? SPEAK UP.

[oldandhappy]

26. watching

Hillary campaign has done the misstatement and negative stuff and the DNC is manipulating massively. I believe this. Thank you for the post.

[notadmblnd]

27. Hillary Supporters will avoid and ignore this thread like the plague

The want it to drop so no one sees it. I say, let's keep it kicked to the top.

[Mufaddal]

30. In all fairness, it's hard for anyone to say much until we know more

Regardless of which candidate we are backing. If a big bombshell is dropped about this in the next couple of days, at that point it's fair to ask for something more than the sound of crickets.

[virtualobserver]

35. Erica wouldn't have known about this if her family wasn't uncomfortable about their "prepping".

[bunnies]

39. They seem to be ignoring a LOT of threads today.

Go figure.

[notadmblnd]

40. anything they can't refute

they ignore in hopes that no one will see it

[chervilant]

34. k & r

Thus far, no Hi11ary supporters...

[Mufaddal]

36. More tweets coming in now

My dad was not selling cigarettes, that was a lie from the police union perpetuated by #Hillary and DeBlasio, he was breaking up a fight!

y'all busy trying to start shit and take advantage of the feeble people ... Go do your job and ask tough questions and think just a little!

And if he were selling cigarettes, who makes #Hillary judge, jury and executioner? She got her day in court for the emails and Benghazi

If #Hillary gets her day in court for emails why didn't my Dad deserve the same??? Double Standard as she likes to say? Please explain!

If Hillary deserves her day in court until she is guilty, why does she think a dead Black man was not worthy of the same? White privilege???

But she judged him as guilty and deserving of punishment

[appal_jack]

37. Yikes.

I often am critical of Hillary, but if she really said that Eric Garner deserved 'punishment' without having talked to all witnesses and family members, then she is even worse than I'd thought at her other, many imperious, entitled, judgemental moments.

A man died before he ever got his day in court. From what I saw on the video, Eric Garner deserved to be on his way, peacefully about his business, unimpeded by NYC Police. I certainly saw no need for 'punishment.'
