What a peculiar (yet predictable) display by the Congressional Black Caucus to come out and unfairly attempt to discredit Senator Sanders today. As has become customary from Establishment politicians - they criticize Sanders with scathing (yet wildly inaccurate) critiques -- and then turn into Chicken Little when it's time to address Clinton's record/history. Certainly - members of the CBC are vying for important appointments from a potential Clinton Administration and see this as their chance to get in good with the Old Clinton Powerhourse Machine.

Rep. John Lewis (whom I have great respect for) actually had the audacity today to call into question Bernie's record on Civil Rights (which is flawless and clearly demonstrated over the course of several decades - unlike the Clintonian prison-industrial complex builders who have presided over the absurd proliferation of black incarceration). Lewis actually said, "I didn't see him" during the civil rights era in what was an embarrassing display of weak deference to the Clintons. You know who else Lewis didn't see during the Civil Rights era? Hillary Clinton. Why? Because as Bernie Sanders was being arrested in the 60's for protesting segregation in Chicago (fact) - Clinton was campaigning for a segregationist (Goldwater). Interesting that Lewis failed to bring that up.

Whether it's the DNC or the CBC - they are out of touch with this new generation of progressivism that will no longer accept their uninspiring status-quo consensus that has done little to bring this nation forward.

You had your turn - now it's ours.
