Y'know, I never even heard of Killer Mike before he endorsed Bernie

1. Me either...

but I guess that's one way to get some press.

[question everything]

2. Who is Killer Mike and why does Sanders want to be endorsed by a killer?

Is this part of the socialist agenda?

[jmowreader]

3. Killer Mike describes himself as a "pan-Africanist gangsta rapper"

[question everything]

5. Time for Hillary to have a "Sister Souljah" moment?

I don't know why we should cower in the face of "gangsta" of any kind.

[Cha]

4. Yeah, I know what you mean.. And, now it's all about killer mike and

his making some sexist remark about women.. I'm seeing that everywhere.

7. Oh no, it's worse than you are seeing

This is the actual quote, in full:

When people tell us, “hold on, wait a while”—and that’s what the other Democrat is telling you—“Hold on, Black Lives Matter, just wait a while. Hold on, young people in this country, just wait a while.” And then she get good, she have your own momma come to you, your momma sit down and say, “Well you’re a woman.” But I talked to Jane Elliott a few weeks ago, and Jane said, “Michael, a uterus doesn't qualify you to be president of the United States. You have to have policies that's reflective of social justice.”

And you may be wondering, who is Jane Elliot? Turns out she's an actress who's stuck almost exclusively to acting in soap operas.

Michael, building an entire campaign around tripling the nation's tax burden, like Bernie Sanders is, DEFINITELY doesn't qualify you to be president.

10. Jane Elliot isn't very smart, either.

[Tanuki]

13. Not that Jane Elliott; this one:

6. It was a good business decision, endorsing Bernie

[jmowreader]

8. True, at least for now

But what happens when Bernie self-immolates in six weeks?

[BlueCaliDem]

15. Well, they still get the exposure they need, right?

It's the "scratch my back and I'll scratch yours".

[Dawson Leery]

9. Nor have I.

Nor have all the people I know and work with.

The charlatan wants to sell records, just as Ben Carson wants to sell books.

[SunSeeker]

11. LOL. Yup. nt

[Stuckinthebush]

12. The Bros were all in a twitter

They said it changed everything and marked the downfall of Clinton. KM was the big deal, evidently. He would bring all of the AA community to Bernie.

I thought, "Who?"

[Gothmog]

14. I have never heard of him either

[BlueCaliDem]

16. I have no clue who he is, and I asked my Millennial kids, and they don't know who he is, either.

But now he's "supporting" Bernie, he's getting some name recognition. Smart business decision - for KM.
