That @PeteButtigieg couldn’t manage to clear his schedule to appear in person or via satellite on the @amjoyshow to have an IMPORTANT conversation w/ (the ONLY black female anchor on @MSNBC) to discuss the racial fallout in S. Bend & #ChiefBoykins confirms everything I suspect.

Sending thanks to @michaelharriot and @TheRoot and @JoyAnnReid for having this IMPORTANT discussion.

The needs & concerns of black people MATTER. If he can’t handle the racial issues in a small city like S. Bend, I have ZERO faith that he can handle what Tang is leaving behind.

Further, @PeteButtigieg’s offer to send a SURROGATE to talk with @JoyAnnReid about something THIS important shows his level of respect for her as a journalist. She is on par with @maddow and @lawrence. She’s one of the BEST on @msnbc.

And dude wonders why he’s polling at ZERO.

I am a black woman, @PeteButtigieg. I have lived a LONG time in this nation. Longer than you. You remind me of those who know what to say and how to say it.

The black community is done with pretty words.

#ActionsMatter

Let me fix that @JoyAnnReid is one of the BEST journalists anywhere, not just on @msnbc. She is smart, principled & fair. And most importantly, calls a spade a spade. We need that, exactly that in this election season. The last fair one we may ever have.

And let me say this CLEARLY:

If you pop in here w/some NONSENSE about black folk having an issue w/ @PeteButtigieg because he’s gay you will be blocked IMMEDIATELY.

Whoever you love is celebrated here. 🌈

What you SAY and DO as a CANDIDATE is what’s dissected.

#TheyTriedIt

#ISaidWhatISaid And I meant EVERY word.

Someone needs to tell the former mayor’s version of the #MAGAts and #BernieBros that I am built for this. Let them come. I LOVE getting to block them all at once.

I’m not doing 2020 like this.
