@justicedems's endorsement included a photo.

Really a mystery why no one gives NYT the benefit of the doubt over a bad headline
-
btw, curious for your thoughts on whether either of these candidates are *really* from the Midwest

He went from “black people aren’t truly Midwestern” to “this black Midwestern woman isn’t really black” in the span of one week. Talk about a spiral.

There are roughly three different ways to interpret this response, and every single one of them is terrible.
-
Can you explain what they are? I genuinely could not read this any other way than “your picture shown prior clearly indicates you are “not black””, and I’m stunned
-
The options are a) based on the photo he assumed she wasn't black, b) she isn't actually black enough in his opinion, or c) he knew she was black, but chose to frame his tweet in such a way as to disingenuously imply her campaign is racist. Not great options.
-
And the ambiguity of his response makes it worse than admitting any of these.

Twitter has taught me the value of saying, “oh that came out awful! Sorry! Ill delete!!”
-
Never gonna make the big leagues with humility like that. Writing for the Times means NEVER admitting fault.

what a weird thing to add for no reason my dude
-
I think he is implying she doesn’t look black or maybe going wild and saying he doesn’t believe she is black
-
it’s absolutely the second one. always assume the worst motives with bait like this
-
He probably thinks she’s light blue because of the photo
