    Charlottesville attack victim Heather Heyer's mother @SusanBro7 spoke to Joe Biden after he made the attack a focus of his 2020 launch. "I think it has to be part of the political dialogue,” she says when asked about him highlighting her daughter’s death. https://cnn.it/2GH4S8O  pic.twitter.com/okXqF3X5RA

        Progressives are fighting against politicians like Biden as hard as we are fighting against Trump. Because politicians like him are the reason we have trump

        Starting already? How many tweets about Joe Biden this morning? ENOUGH! Vote for your candidate in the primary. Stop bashing other candidates. We all need to support own own candidate in the primary but unite to vote for whoever wins the Democratic nomination! Period!

        I am sorry but you don’t have to visit Charlottesville to have compassion or empathy for what occurred. The message was about the constant hate speech or divisive language coming from the current administration. But I’m sure you know that 😏

        He did not even contact the mother to use her daughter’s story in his campaign video. Talk about profiting off of pain? Also, do you expect the next president to at least visit Charlottesville ?? Cause I do

        Yep, I’m out. Not one candidate running is perfect and hasn’t made their share of mistakes. I love what you do addressing issues of race but I don’t want to be part of a platform that is this divisive. We can’t afford it.

        If you value Shaun's work in that regard, you shouldn't like Biden. His record regarding race issues is terrible. Having a black friend (Obama) doesn't make up for opposing busing, pushing for mass incarceration, etc

        I’m not defending Biden. I’ve donated to five candidates, including Bernie, and Biden isn’t one of them. Biden isn’t even in the top 8 for me. I’m advocating for a different approach, one that isn’t so negative. I want us to vet the candidates but in a more positive way.

        It’s okay to criticize candidates. It’s the job of the media and also our right as Americans.

        Agreed. I'm all for a healthy discussion and criticism is part of that. Maybe I'm just scared but some of these attacks, and not just Shaun, feel so angry, which may be justified, but I worry. I worry about the bigger effect: turning Ds against each other and giving Rs fodder.

        I agree with the others. I've enjoyed your insight, but when I see your name I am starting to feel the same sinking feeling in my stomach as when I hear Trump. Please be informative not divisive. I'm open to every candidate that does not make excuses for the dope in office.

        Information is divisive if you care about it. You all can go for Joe but plenty of us are done settling for huxters in the democratic party. Does he even have a platform yet, or is it just 'I care about Americans.'? Because platitude politics is over.
