I cannot fathom the level of disrespect and condescension in this remark. It is particularly disgusting given how often Sanders has clung to Clyburn's 10-20-30 plan as his answer to reparations.
How many times has @BernieSanders wrapped Clyburn's 10-20-30 plan around himself to deflect from any honest consideration of racial justice and systemic racism? But when Clyburn isn't so flattered by Sanders' using him as cover to endorse, Bernie goes to spiteful and petty
For Bernie, Clyburn exists as someone to exploit, to cover for his deficient racial justice platform & his antipathy to anti-racist politics & representation. Clyburn daring to act with his own agency, as a Black man with power, and he gets "His politics are not my politics."
Has there been a single moment in his long life when Bernie has been gracious?
