Mahalo, Dem!

During the last Democratic debate U.S. Sen. Cory Booker went after Biden, saying that his position on marijuana legalization showed that he was out of touch with the black community.

Gibson, however, did not agree with that.

“I understand he’s not an African American, everybody understands that part,” Gibson said. “That doesn’t mean he cannot be communicative and be focused on issues that impact certain African American communities."

"You don’t have to be an African American to have an understanding of what folks go through," she said.

Wow.. Booker's shot there didn't work with State Senator Audrey Gibson(FL-Dem)... anyway!
If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
