In reply to the discussion: Congressional Black Caucus backs Hillary Clinton [View all]AtheistCrusader
(33,982 posts)"39 have endorsed her candidacy"
That claim is quite different from "Congressional Black Caucus Endorses Hillary Clinton". I am capable of holding a personal opinion separate from my vote as a member of an organization. Do you not see the difference?
If there was no difference and the opinion of the Org was actually gauged and voted upon, then there would be no controversy here at all. There is controversy because it is being presented as something it is not. (CNN's fault, because they conflated the Org with it's PAC, but you are defending that.)
We shouldn't have to have this argument. It's clearly poor form, and an assumption. It was wholly unnecessary to cast it in that light. Just vote on it, or officially state you have no position, but the PAC does. Not hard. Take an hour.
Which begs the question 'why not?'.
Why is Rep. Ellison clearly upset about the implication?
