1. So are you gonna get caught up in wordparsimg? That's a statement against racial profiling.

If you want to turn it into something different be my guest. Mischaracterizing What Biden means/said is not going to help Hickenlooper or any other candidate poll better.

[brooklynite]

3. I'm not here to promote Hickenlooper...

I'm here to evaluate all the likely Presidential candidates. You can apply your own principles.

[emulatorloo]

7. So are you here to tear down Democrats by posting shitty tweets that misrepresent Democrats?

Turning an anti-racial profiling statement into something bad?

C’mon you are better than this.

[brooklynite]

12. Perhaps take it up with others?

Doesn't bother me, but a campaign that has problems with its messaging is something I'm concerned about.

[emulatorloo]

13. Oh so now you're going to post more shitty dishonest tweets?

It’s a statement against racial profiling. Yet your twitterers are damned determined to twist his words in order to take Biden out.

The “messaging problem” is with your twitterers. I don’t like lies or false character attacks against any Democrat.

I still think you are better than this thread. C’mon Chris, try not to promote dishonest tweets.

14. Well, in fairness, I copied it from another thread here, so you might want to express your feelings

As for the tweet itself, here's the author's profile:

Ali was born into an Iranian family in Chicago. He grew up in Oak Park, Illinois and attended Holy Cross High School in River Grove. Ali later moved to Los Angeles, working as a television production assistant on shows like E.R. and Chicago Hope.

Following his stint working in TV, he began working on various political campaigns including Steve Westly's 2006 campaign for governor and Hillary Rodham Clinton's 2008 presidential campaign. According to the San Francisco Chronicle, Ali also worked as a federal lobbyist, and has given thousands of dollars to Democratic candidates.

Ali served as then-San Francisco mayor Gavin Newsom's deputy chief of staff.

After working in California Democratic Party politics, Ali moved to New York City and contributed to multiple media publications.

If you have some evidence that the author is being dishonest, please present it. If your only complaint is that you disagree with how other people interpret Biden's language, that's not something I can address.

16. My complaint is you're posting hit jobs rather than telling me good things about Mayor Pete

i am not a fan of half-truth attacks on any of our candidates. Let’s lift our candidates up, they are all good people.

Leave the calculated dishonest attacks to the pros like Fox News and Trump.

As I said before you are better than this. Please post a positive thread about Pete that will convince DU undecideds to support him. That would be very helpful

2. And so that kid might be. Hoodies are

common everywhere. I don't see any problem with his statement. Did the audience at the Rainbow Push Coalition find it troubling? Somehow, I doubt it.

[SouthernProgressive]

4. Are some now going to support racial profiling in order to be against Biden? NT

[emmaverybo]

6. Brilliant. NT

[emulatorloo]

9. Yeah, it's crazy.

[Funtatlaguy]

8. Every one of Biden's words are examined, while Trump

Well, you know

[brooklynite]

17. But I'm not here to "sell" Mayor Pete

I’m here to talk about politics, including positive and negative stories about any candidate that I find relevant. If there’s a weakness in one of our candidates, even mine, I certainly want to know about now rather than later.

10. Nothing bad about it, just preaching to the choir. n/t

[Demit]

11. Or he might just be a normal kid.

I wonder why that didn't seem to occur to Biden to say.

15. It was a good night for Kamala and the GOP. She save them a bunch of money for more TV ads.

She splattered Biden all over the place so now the GOP spenders can focus their largess on others.
