Warren's 'Michael Brown' moment

[Talk_Radio]

In recognizing the five year anniversary of the death of Michael Brown — a black man who was killed by a Ferguson, Missouri, police officer — Democratic presidential hopeful Sen. Elizabeth Warren (Mass.) claimed the young man had been "murdered."

On Friday, Warren tweeted, "5 years ago Michael Brown was murdered by a white police officer in Ferguson, Missouri. Michael was unarmed yet he was shot 6 times. I stand with activists and organizers who continue the fight for justice for Michael. We must confront systemic racism and police violence head on."

Several people reminded Sen. Warren that Brown was a robbery suspect who was killed after attacking a police officer and that the officer, Darren Wilson, was cleared of wrongdoing in multiple investigations. Others accused Warren of pandering for votes with her message, and several accused her of spreading a falsehood that had already been long debunked. One person wrote, "This is a bald-faced lie."

Any presidential candidate who is still promulgating the lie that led to the Ferguson effect after Obama's AG, Holder, said it was nonsense- is disqualified from ever being POTUS.

It's things like this that lead me to believe that, even if she wins the nomination, she's almost hellbent on finding a way to fuck it up. It's the strangest and most unsettling thing about the Democratic field--many of them seem to think that just because Trump has his moments where he seems on the verge of self immolation, they're entitled to regurgitate nonsense from time to time too. They have different bases, not to mention different fears from independent/moderate voters they need to assuage. They're so worried about appealing to Primary voters that their long term strategies tend to suffer. The kindest thing I can say about Michael Brown is that he was a bit of jerk who played a pretty significant role in causing the events that led to his own demise--not the kind of guy to rally around.
