In reply to the discussion: African American South Carolinians weigh in on Biden's comments (Report by CNN's Martin Savidge) [View all]Gothmog
(145,086 posts)29. African Americans trust and support Joe Biden -- and Bernie Sanders' dirty tactics won't change that

For more than 30 years I have worked around the clock organizing and activating voters in South Carolina with my renowned Reckoning Crew.
We have hit the ground for local races, presidential races and everything in between knocking on doors in rural communities and making phone calls into urban neighborhoods. We have had big wins and suffered some tough losses, but we are lucky to speak with so many voters in our communities.
It is safe to say that I know what South Carolina voters are looking for in 2020.....
Sanders divisive and baseless attacks wont get him anywhere in the Palmetto State. And Sanders is proving to us once again that he just does not know or understand South Carolina voters.
By contrast former Vice President Joe Biden knows us like the back of his hand. And we know him.
Joe has more relationships in our communities than anyone else in this race.
He has more history with our communities than anyone else in this race.
And Joe is more comfortable in our communities than anyone else in this race.

Perhaps Sanders should not have deliberately mislead viewers as to what Biden said.
