Bakari Sellers slaps down Chris Cuomo for playing up intraparty division: 'Joe Biden is not a racist

"On Thursday night’s edition of CNN’s “Cuomo Prime Time,” former South Carolina state Rep. Bakari Sellers, chastised Chris Cuomo for trying to insinuate that any sort of mid-primary criticism is counterproductive — and for bastardizing his camp’s arguments against former Vice President Joe Biden.
“You want to talk about the difference between a circular primary squad, which was what Obama was worried about in critiquing,” said Cuomo. “You go after Joe Biden time and time again. ‘You’re not a bigot but — look what you did, look what you did.’ How does it not do two potential things, one, fatigue the issue. It all matters. The people you noted to dissuade, if they hear about it for the next eight months while you fight within your party, what appetite will they have? And you are empowering the president to say, you call everybody a racist. You call everybody the person in front of me. Everybody is a racist. Then what? How does that help you?”
