In reply to the discussion: Nina Turner Blasts Audience From Black Women's Forum for Booing Senator's MLK Comments [View all]Uncle Joe
(58,282 posts)137. Yes that would have taken at least an entire minute or two, short time in
trying to gauge a candidate for President on an issue that one cares about and as I mentioned Bernie was speaking to a televised audience.
The individual yelling out "we know" has no idea what every American viewing that town hall knows or knew.
Bernie was telling his history, something of which he rarely did 2016, it took prodding from his campaign staff to get him to open up in 2020.
I believe that's what the true concern is.
If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided
