Dammit

Don’t you hate it when things you’ve defended and politicians you support end up turning out to not be what you thought.

Remember Dan defending the cultural appropriation of the DFL leadership in Kente cloth.  And the woman who couldn’t stay balanced trying to hide looking at her phone.

Then doesn’t it suck when old, embarrassing Bernie photos show up?

USA Today fact checkers acknowledge that Kente cloth comes from a tribe that profited greatly from the slave trade. Of course this still doesn't mitigate the fact that this photo op was so unimportant that one of the participants couldn't stay off her phone.

There's a photo going around that purports to show Bernie Sanders being arrested for throwing eggs at black protesters in the 60's. Who knows if it's true, but it wouldn't be surprising.
