THREAD on the Joe Biden "n-word" video smear that's been going around. It's obvious he's quoting someone, this is the passage it was clipped from. He was grilling a Reagan nominee about pre-clearing an obviously racist redistricting plan. mediaite.com/a/isgeg
Biden first brought up the quote the day before, but the video was jacked up, there's only audio. He was reading from a memo that the nominee William Bradley Reynolds saw BEFORE he precleared the racist plan. mediaite.com/a/isgeg
Biden absolutely GRILLED the guy on this case, a grilling I present here in parts. Part 1: mediaite.com/a/isgeg

Biden successfully blocked that nomination, but this shows how even BEFORE the VRA was gutted, it was easy for racist administrations to work around it, and why Joe Biden is going to fix the #VRA when he's elected. mediaite.com/a/isgeg

@fawfulfan @leahmcelrath @emilycrockett @Mediaite There are a few reasons why this bothers me, but I'd first like us all to agree on the facts. What she said in 2007 is definitely in conflict with what she says now, and what she said in 2007 was factual. She lacked the credentials to keep the job.
@fawfulfan @leahmcelrath @emilycrockett @Mediaite From a purely political perspective, Warren has considerable strengths, but also vulnerabilities that need to be addressed and aren't. They need to be addressed before she's the nominee, not exploited after. So I'll stipulate to her strengths.
@fawfulfan @leahmcelrath @emilycrockett @Mediaite Medicare for All is a significant vulnerability for reasons I've written extensively about, but Warren has wisely begun positioning for a pivot. mediaite.com/opinion/elizab… Unfortunately that pivot could be a liability as well.

1. Here's a thread on this thread. The @SenFeinstein video needs to be viewed 2 ways, on the optics and the substance. On the optics, there's clearly a gulf between the edited and the full video.
@SenFeinstein 2. All of the conflict occurs after @SenFeinstein agrees she might vote YES on #GND, and spends several minutes engaging substantively on the issue. That's important context that they left out.
@SenFeinstein 3. OTOH, provoked or not, her reaction is open to fair criticism, and they also didn't show the part where she and her staff were like "Nah, you don't need to read this mess out loud, thx." But she then engages them for a very long time more and offers one of them an internship.
