      The 1994 crime bill caused lots of problems, but it's telling that Dem candidates are focusing on a 25 year old bill to attack Biden, rather than the criminal justice record of the Obama/Biden administration. Trump enacted more sweeping criminal justice reform than Obama ever did

      This is misleading. That justice reform effort began under Obama and would have been enacted then if the GOP would have allowed it. Trump roled back civil rights protections and police oversight from the Obama era, among many other things. Stop showing your ignorance.

      Misleading how? Trump signed into law a more sweeping criminal justice reform bill than Obama ever did. Do you dispute that statement? The ACLU said exactly this.

          Trump signed a thing delayed by GOP for years, funded it at 1/4 the needed level to perform, and rolled back enough other stuff to make the net result questionable vs doing nothing... Arguable it would be better if he just golfed.

          He massively underfunded that bill and simultaneously rolled back an enormous amount of law enforcement reform work that had been done by DOJ.

          For the record, the GOP led Congress/Senate expressly stated they were not working with him. No bills were signed because they obstructed since taking over in 2010

          Apparently, you’ve decided to ignore my entire response. I’ve explained it. The difference is that the GOP signed off on the bill under Trump they wouldn’t under Obama. And you ignore all the other things Obama did and the protections Trump undermined. That’s why it’s misleading.

          If I arrive at a fire and attempt to put it out but I’m blocked by a group of people who won’t let me put it out. Then another guy arrives and the group that prevented me from putting out the fire allow him to put it out, how am I the bad guy?

          This. Only the second guy didn't put out the fire completely, still left embers burning, and then took credit for putting out the fire.

          When you make this type of claim absent important context, you leave the impression that Trump is some civil rights, criminal justice champion - when the full record tells a very different story. Do better. This isn’t a game.

          You made a statement without context. A President doesn't pass bills, he signs them when they get to their desk. A Congress passes them, and they are much better when there is bipartisanship. That bipartisanship wasn't there for the last 6 years of his term.

          This is ignorant. Trump signed one decent bill, then under-funded it by 80 percent. He also reversed Obama reform policies on equitable sharing, police militarization, DOJ review of local police agencies, predatory municipal courts, I could go on. https://twitter.com/mtracey/status/1134460071084265477 …

          This is like saying Ronald Reagan was a better president on civil rights than Democrats because he signed the law making MLK day a national holiday, even though he didn't want it to be a holiday. When you don't provide the context, you mislead. Journalists should know this.
