Did you watch Eddie Glaude on Deadline WH today?

[Grasswire2]

He was very eloquent and the words came from deep within. It was an insightful perspective about 2016....

Transcript:

EDDIE GLAUDE JR.: I was critical of Hillary Clinton and get hemmed up on Twitter every day for criticizing Donald Trump because people believe I'm responsible, in part, for Donald Trump being in the White House. What I did wrong in 2016 is I overestimated white people. I didn't think white people would put him in office.

So here he is running around the country appealing to our darker angels, appealing to our hatred and fears and I'm supposed to believe that Delaware County in Ohio is not going to vote for him. That the suburbs in Pennsylvania aren't going to vote for him? Aren't going to vote for him in Florida?

So part of what I do know is that it's going to require young people, it's going to require people of color, it's going to require African-Americans like they showed up in Alabama and Virginia. It's going to require us to turn out in massive numbers because I made a mistake in 2016. And the evidence is not in yet. I know it sounds cynical, but this man doubled down after 11 beautiful people were shot and killed while worshiping. Jefferson Town, Kentucky, murdered, shot in the back of the head for what? For what? Some ideal of whiteness that Donald Trump represents and spews out of his mouth every single day.

1. No Eddie, you're not getting a pass by blaming white folks for Trump's win.

Flakes like you proclaimed "I won't vote for Hillary", and dampened Democratic enthusiasm. Less votes for us because of "principled" pompous jellyfish like you.

Own it.

[Grasswire2]

3. I don't know how Eddie voted.

Has he said?

I don't remember seeing him until recently. Was he high visibility during 2016?

[EffieBlack]

7. He said in 2016 that he would not vote for Hillary

He claimed it didn't matter because he lived in a blue state. But surely many people who lived in other states heard him and saw that as permission not to vote for her either - after all, even the smart black guy from Princeton wasn't going to vote for her.

10. +1

[Cha]

21. Another one without any vision.

And, actually brainwashed.

Thanks for that info, Effie.

[oasis]

9. Glaude's on t.v.with a microphone. He expects us to believe

he didn't influence a single person to stay away from the polls on Election Day.

Prof. Glaude.

[OnDoutside]

30. I do. And yes he was on MSNBC constantly during 2016, spouting shite about Hillary. See here.

My Democratic Problem With Voting for Hillary Clinton

By EDDIE S. GLAUDE, JR. July 12, 2016
IDEAS
Glaude is the William S. Tod Professor of Religion and African American Studies at Princeton University and the author of Democracy in Black.
I am not voting for Hillary Clinton, regardless of her endorsement by Bernie Sanders. My decision isn’t because of the scandal around her emails or because of some concern over her character. My reasons are pretty straightforward. I don’t agree with her ideologically.

Democratic values centered on economic and racial justice shape my own politics. I’m not convinced those values shape hers. Nothing Clinton says or intends to do if elected will fundamentally transform the circumstances of the most vulnerable in this country—even with her concessions to the Sanders campaign. Like the majority of Democratic politicians these days, she is a corporate Democrat intent on maintaining the status quo. And I have had enough of all of them.

20. Yeah Thanks oasis.. Eddie G is Not

eloquent at all.

More like brainwashed.

Yeah, do any of them "own" their shite?

[wasupaloopa]

2. I saw that. But White people did not put trump in the White House. I did not vote for trump.

I know we can just blow off what I feel, but we need to stop broad brushing people. I am an old white male. I am not your enemy.

I have voted for Dems since 1968.

[Blue_true]

5. The "I will vote my principles" and "No difference between parties"

need to take ownership for every republican driven disaster since Bush 2000. They own the country not being as progressive as they, all because of them.

[EffieBlack]

8. Not all white people ...

[JoeOtterbein]

13. + 100X

[brush]

16. Not all white people of course. Eddie Glaud is a perfect example of that.

He said in 2016 that he could not vote for Hillary Clinton.

He had a platform public platform then and undoubtedly influenced others.

[JoeOtterbein]

4. Eddie is correct.

Any look at the '16 election will show you that the majority of white women, as well as white men, voted for Trump.

[oasis]

11. Credit Eddie for his fair share of Democratic "no shows". nt

[Cha]

23. This is why Glaude and a bunch of prominent Blackademics...

spent the 2016***

***I edited to correct the date.. Bodak Red got us in 2106 in her Tweet.

[oasis]

33. "Prof" Glaude couldn't bring himself to vote for Hillary, who is

an extremely intelligent individual--oh no, the erudite professor chooses to back Jill Stein.

Thanks Cha, for the Bodak Red piece. He's telling it like it is.

26. Well, THIS college educated

WHITE woman as well as all the other college educated white women in my family all voted for Hillary and I'll accept ZERO responsibility for the degenerate in the oval office. The blame goes to those who voted for donnie as well as those who didn't vote or voted third party with their imbecilic "there's no difference between the parties" nonsense - like this clown who didn't vote for Hillary because he thought being edgy would keep him on TV during a Hillary administration..

[EffieBlack]

6. Sorry, Eddie - but you don't get a pass by blaming white people

One reason some of those white people didn't vote for Hillary is that they heard a black guy on TV saying he couldn't bring himself to vote for her, thereby giving the permission to do the same thing.

[Grasswire2]

12. do we know where he said this

I'd like to see if, if anyone remembers.

I don't remember him at all from previous era.

[EffieBlack]

15. He said it on Morning Joe

I heard him myself and almost spit out my coffee.

[DeminPennswoods]

19. He said it on Nicolle Wallace's show, too

Except it's "2016"

[ecstatic]

14. I'm so glad he has finally taken responsibility for his vote

in 2016. It really really bothered me that he refused to in the months following the election. That being said, his excuse for voting for Stein is ridiculous.

[leftynyc]

27. He did NOT take responsibility

Saying he overestimated white people is trying to shift the blame. THIS white woman voted for Hillary, he did not.

36. Glaude speaks of mobilizing and organizing "to bring pressure

to bear on her presidency". A classic Hillary hater, Glaude, in late Oct. 2016, was preparing to undermine her administration. He preferred Jill Stein.

[renate]

18. There is no way to convince Trump voters to switch if we shame them every time

I wish we would welcome people who are brave enough to publicly admit their mistakes.

[ProfessorGAC]

32. He Wasn't A Trump Voter

He voted for Stein. That's equally dumb and selfish.

[DeminPennswoods]

22. Saw it

If his intent was to show white people how it feels to be stereotyped, kudos, job well done.

Plenty of white people, myself included, voted for Clinton and vote for Dems every election. Unfortunately, there were too many people like Prof Glaude who believed the good was the enemy of the perfect and refused to vote for her or voted 3rd party or just stayed home.

Near the end of Deadline WH, Glaude did seem to realize his comments were over the top and tried to walk them back, but can't unring that bell.

[phylny]

25. This right up there right here.

I'm busting my butt to elect Democrats here in Virginia. We did it for Ralph Northam for Governor in a big way and we continue to do so.

Rural, white, 60-year-old, always voted Democratic woman. Right here.

[leftynyc]

29. Same here

and it makes my blood boil that others who actually didn't vote for Hillary try and shift that blame elsewhere.

[LenaBaby61]

28. He's not nearly as bad as Cornell West ...

Whom I've not herard SHIT from since he made a cot damn fool out of himself only this time on Bill Maher's show, still talking out of the side of his neck about how bad Hillary was 🙄

But Glaude's someone who I've not really ever been fond of either.

Doc Eddie underestimated how racist some white folks can be?

[OnDoutside]

31. What have Glaude, West and Sarandon in common ? All publicly asked people not to vote for Hillary.

[oasis]

34. Eddie Glade/Sarandon/Jill Stein got us Kavanaugh/Gorsuch.
