Hey, guys....remember three years ago when people were insisting we support Tim Canova...

....in his Democratic primary campaign to unseat Debbie Wasserman Schultz? And how it was people like Tim Canova who were the true liberals and progressives that we need to embrace, not those filthy "establishment" types?

Well, drats, if Tim Canova just fell short in 2016. And then in 2018 again.

But I'm sure he's still the progressive liberal that everyone was claiming he was back in 2016, right?

I'm sure if we take a look at his Twitter page, for example, we'd find that it---

Well, then.

Carry on.

about trump’s tweets you are a racist or something.

I did not tweet about trump’s tweets. I don’t tweet.

It says nothing about someone if they don’t tweet.

Reading his retweets, I am thinking that he sure doesn't seem to resemble any progressive liberal I know.
Funny thing, I just remembered that at first Bernie Sanders was very happy and supportive of Canova, then for some reason he must have changed his mind because he was a no-show at Canova's rally. Maybe even Bernie knew back then that Canova was not what he claimed to be....

During his 2016 campaign, to promote his campaign he would frequently appear on the Joyce Kaufman radio show, who is a local right wing crazy.
