2016 Postmortem
Showing Original Post only (View all)Hillary campaign uses admitted liar that smeared Anita Hill to accuse Bernie of racism [View all]
This is the ad that David Brock claims proves that
black lives dont matter much to Bernie Sanders,
Now I sure as hell don't know how anyone could watch that video and think that it proves that "Black lives don't matter much to Bernie Sanders" but that is what David Brock claims.
David Brock is a former right-wing smear merchant who lied to destroy the reputation of Anita Hill. He has a past history as a racist smear merchant and yet he is the one the Hillary campaign chose to accuse Bernie Sanders of not caring about black lives.
The Clinton campaign is coordinating directly with Brock's Super PAC and so Hillary can be tied directly to these attacks.
We need to demand that Hillary condemn Brock and stop coordinating activities with Correct the Record. The only reason she is allowed to coordinate is because the campaign is exploiting a loophole in the law, generally coordination with Super PACs is illegal, but Hillary found a loophole in the law so she could directly coordinate with the guy who printed vicious lies about Anita Hill.
If Hillary wants to use a white guy with a history of racist smears to accuse Bernie of not caring about black lives she has the right to do that, but she should not be surprised when we call her out on her association with a guy that has a history of racist smears.

Back then he was a sleazy hatchet man using race and sex as a tool to attack the left.

Hillary is prohibited by law from coordinating her campaign with whatever Brock does.
