Since we're one week out from the Cleveland Mayoral primary election, I guess it's time to blow the lid on Citizens for Change PAC (aka Kevin Kelly for Mayor Inc.)

A THREAD First - *everyone* has the right to support or oppose whoever they want to in the Cleveland Mayors race. While I support @bibb4cle, there are legitimate issues you can raise for EVERY candidate, including him.

I know who paid for & put out the racist hit piece against @BibbForCLE.

The one where they darken his skin tone & use the old racist trope of criminalizing a highly educated & qualified black man?

It’s one of the oldest tricks in their book. But they fucked up.

A THREAD As a leader in national dem politics, I’ve seen it all. But if there is one issue that pisses me off more than anything, it’s when white men weaponize race when they can’t win on merit.

And while I don’t know @kevinkelleyCLE, he and his friends have crossed a line.
