Morning!

So, has the Great Bernard Sanders made any kind of statement about this racist attack against a state rep in the state he is a senator?

I haven’t come across any.

You would think if he really wanted to be president and show his chops he would be all over this making a big deal of it as a political demonstration.

Or…is it as we suspect, he doesn’t care about something like this?

He made a tweet about it. But past that, the only time he’s mentioned her was a Facebook post months back when she resigned, and not much else from what I know while the whole thing was actually going on during her time in office:

A black lawmaker who resigned in Vermont “was a victim of racial harassment,” the state’s attorney general said, but the case won’t be prosecuted because of the First Amendment https://t.co/5dXzpz7FYq pic.twitter.com/zn9WdEHgob

Racism and white supremacy have no place in Vermont. Kiah Morris was an excellent representative and our state is worse off without her in office. We must root out racism in Vermont and ensure that no one fears for their safety because of the color of their skin. https://t.co/3UsnUxTVqE
