Clyburn endorsed Brown and warned that the left's "sloganeering" -- such as calls to defund the police -- is politically damaging.

I don't think that's fair, Politicub

People with more than two brain cells know that defund the police means to restructure the policing system.

If that's what they mean they should say so. People shouldn't be expected to read their minds.

I'm going with Rev Warnock on this.. Not the Loser Kelly Loeffner.

FACT CHECK: Reverend Warnock Does Not Support Defunding The Police, But Kelly Loeffler Has Voted Against Law Enforcement Funding

We Want to Hold On the the House Victory that the Moderates Won for us on Health Care in 2018.. Not Lose it on the Stupid Slogan "DTP"

Shontle Brown Won in Ohio and she Doesn't support DFT!

This is what Rep Clyburn had to say about it..

Clyburn stepped in when the rapper and activist Killer Mike, appearing at a campaign event with Turner, said the No. 3 House Democrat had been "incredibly stupid" to back Biden without securing more concessions. Clyburn endorsed Brown and warned that the left's "sloganeering" -- such as calls to defund the police -- is politically damaging.

Love the way Hakeem puts this..

“Let me put it this way: The majority of Democratic voters recognize that Trumpism and the radical right is the real enemy, not us,” Jeffries said. “Apparently the extreme left hasn’t figured that out.”

TY!

Omg.. he sounds like Turner.. Get Over

it, Sanders.. Shontel Brown and The Democratic Party WON Ohio District 11.

The Local Clergy, theCBC and Rep James Clyburn's Endorsement helped immeasurably..

And, President Biden gave her a Congratulatory Call!

The Cleveland Plain Dealer and those who went to Ohio to endorse Turner like you, AOC, Killer Mike.. lost.. can you Not be graceful about it?!

Turner had more money than Shontel Brown and still LOST.

omg.. who wants anyone in Congress who doesn't Pay Attention!!

Clyburn also said he was frustrated by Killer Mike and Turner claiming that the only victory Democrats have gotten from Biden is the establishment of Juneteenth as a federal holiday.

He went on to name a number of accomplishments he says he has helped deliver during the Biden administration, including tenets of the bipartisan infrastructure package and the adoption of his antipoverty formula.

“These are creations, and to say all we got out of endorsing Joe Biden was a federal holiday?” Clyburn said. “That’s the kind of BS that sent me to Cleveland.”

TY Rep Cly-BURN!

Thanks for suggesting to go to the link.. worth it!

We have the best in the Democratic Party!!

I didn't read much of what Cenk said or any of BJG.. were they whining about the votes Shontel got form Shaker Heights, Ohio?

Which reminds me.. I saw this tweet last night..
