Tim Black has a few words for Russell Simmons....

[jillan]

I love this guy. He does not hold back!

[Qutzupalotl]

1. DAMN

[PWPippin]

21. Hot damn!

[Gregorian]

2. Money most often makes people lose their empathy.

I call it money hypnosis. It makes people act weird.

Tim, you are my friend.

[UglyGreed]

6. That is the truth

I got mine you get yours.......

[WillyT]

3. K & R !!!

[Punkingal]

4. Dang!

Awesome!

[PyaarRevolution]

10. Supposedly he's a Vegan et al.

He's said things trying to show empathy but if he's a Vegan like me and talking shit on Bernie I can't take him seriously.

[retrowire]

16. Vegans unite wooooo! nt

[Svafa]

27. I'll second that!

[roguevalley]

44. god, that was great. amazingly to the heart.

[Nedsdag]

7. It doesn't matter.

She could shoot someone on stage Donald Trump style and she would still get the nomination.

[whatchamacallit]

8. Hm... it's almost like he's calling out some familiar people...

... I know from somewhere... 🤔

[AzDar]

9. K & R

[TheBlackAdder]

11. Shit! I'd like to see the Russell Simmons' retort to that!

[bbgrunt]

12. damn right!

[madfloridian]

13. Wow.

He's impressive.

[wendylaroux]

14. If you got the money Hillary is your friend. (or if there's camera nearby) nt

[Nanjeanne]

15. This is my point as well. Endorse Hillary. That's great. No problem with that. But why

is it necessary to even mention Bernie Sanders? Especially when you are going to use those same "talking points" all the surrogates get. It's seems so planned and dishonest.

Isn't there enough about Hillary Clinton that is wonderful for her endorsers to talk about?

Guess not.

[retrowire]

17. Exactly. You nailed it.

Just endorse her. Don't go on stage for her and lie. Wonder if they get a bonus for that?

[jillan]

19. Mine too. Say you endorse her because you like her policies. But was attacking Bernie necessary?

At this point?

[Nanjeanne]

20. Necessary? For Hillary? Yes - because she has to cement the bogus crap about Bernie and PoC.

[jillan]

23. I don't know anymore. That was a very successful artful smear campaign. The message is part of

the everyday dialogue here, in the newspapers and the cable news shows.

Mission Accomplished.

[Nanjeanne]

24. I agree. It was perfectly executed by all her surrogates. Shameful. But that's how she rolls.

[Cleita]

18. I totally dismiss anyone who has to endorse their candidate by smearing the opposition with lies.

It says more about their candidate's inadequacies than Bernie that he can't praise her good qualities instead. Maybe she doesn't have any he wants to praise her for.

[sabrina 1]

22. Tim Black is fantastic. Tells the truth with no hesitation.

[Cheese Sandwich]

25. Probably because Bernie has been pushing on TPP and trade the past few days.

I strongly suspect unclerush is importing a lot of his clothing lines from overseas sweatshops with borderline slavery working conditions.

[ejbr]

26. As a black man, this upsets me

Only cuz I didn't get to say it!!!

[99th_Monkey]

28. Who knew that Hillary hates farmers? I haven't see that in her platform anywhere. n/t

[Raster]

29. Ouch! That is probably going to leave a mark.

"I will give Russell Simmons credit for one thing... when he said Hillary Clinton's platform is progressive...yeah, it's progressive, but you know why it's progressive, Rus? It's progressive because she just took it from Bernie Sanders..."

[TM99]

30. Fuck yes!

God damned that was a beautiful take-down.

And he is dead on right!!!

[Jopin Klobe]

31. Bernie! ... Beeeeerrrrrnieeeeeee!!! ...

... I think we found your Liaison to the Black Community ...

... sign him up ...

[Duppers]

32. Go Tim!

He's always hitting the nail.

[billhicks76]

33. Don King Called Trump A Republicrat

What is Hillary then?

[Enthusiast]

34. I'm shocked that Russell Simmons would support Hillary.

I had a much higher opinion of him than that. I guess I'll have to reconsider my opinion.

[vintx]

35. Sharing this!

Thank you!!!

[jillan]

38. Please do! You should follow him on Twitter. And....

welcome to DU!

[vintx]

41. Thank you for the welcome!

[Bread and Circus]

36. Wow, that guy didn't pull any punches...

[jillan]

37. He doesn't. He is an outspoken supporter of Bernie's. If you're on twitter, he is one to follow.

[Bread and Circus]

42. The words he used kind of blew my mind...

[billhicks76]

39. Just Read That Hillary Is What The Republican Party Should Be

And Bernie is what the Democratic Party should be. Now that's an interesting quote.

[Bread and Circus]

43. Wasn't that the whole goal of the original DLC...to co-opt the social issues of the Democratic Party

but then inject it with Republican fiscal and military policy...

[nadinbrzezinski]

40. Hold it, who is exactly talking as one voice

I think that talking point can safely be buried now
