Does this mean #BernieIsACop is the next big Twitter trend?
It's amazing how much more hell Hillary Clinton got for the 1994 crime bill than the two men running who were actually in Congress and voted for it. Ditto with how much more Kamala Harris got lambasted for her criminal justice record than the men who voted for the 1994 bill.
I can't tell whether we look harder for reasons to despise and blame women, or for reasons to excuse and justify men.
Bernie Sanders claimed in 2016 that he disagreed with many aspects of the crime bill, but voted for it because it included the assault weapons ban.
Now, @EmSteck & @kfile reports that he said the country needed "some more jail" and to be "tougher" on crime in 1994. 1/

Bernie Sanders "voted in favor of at least one amendment allocating more money for prison funding, though 49 Democrats voted against it, including now Speaker Nancy Pelosi." It "gave $10.5 billion more in grants to states for prison construction."

In 2016, you'll recall that Hillary Clinton got far more criticism for the 1994 crime bill (often from Bernie's camp), even though she was only a first lady whose husband signed it at the time.
In 2020, we've seen the same criticism directed at Joe Biden. Also: #KamalaIsACop 3/
