In reply to the discussion: Sanders not sure that 'one incident alone' disqualifies Biden [View all]Autumn
(45,085 posts)25. I believe her. But I can't find in her essay where she mentioned Cristobal Alex? Maybe you can
point it out Cha? I think he went out of his way to make himself a part of the story. Make himself look good for the boss, maybe? Talk about misrepresenting. I don't see where he's offering up the information that Biden hired him for his team. You should read the tweets to him. . This guy seems like a shitty friend.
Biden Nabs Big Name Latino Operative
In the latest sign that Joe Biden will run for president, his team has brought on Cristóbal Alex, the head of the influential Latino Victory Fund, Politico reports.
Its not clear what role Alex would fill in a Biden presidential campaign. He served as Hillary Clintons National Deputy Director of Voter Outreach and Mobilization in 2016.

When I spoke to a male friend who is also a political operative in Bidens orbit the first man who had heard the story outside of my staff and close friends years ago he did what no one else had and made me question myself and wonder if I was doing the right thing. He reminded me that Biden has significant resources and argued points that made me question my memory, even though Ive replayed that scene in my mind a thousand times. He reminded me that my credibility would be attacked and that I should be prepared for the type of back and forth that could occur. (When reached by New York Magazine, a representative for Vice-President Joe Biden declined to comment.)
Im not suggesting that Biden broke any laws, but the transgressions that society deems minor (or doesnt even see as transgressions) often feel considerable to the person on the receiving end. That imbalance of power and attention is the whole point and the whole problem.

Thanks for that, now I like her more. YMMV. The only evidence I have seen was her "friends"
