25 years ago. Time to move on.
I need you to see this interview w/ @RepBobbyRush.
It is the most honest, painful, transparent moment from any politician regarding the 1994 Crime Bill.
He voted for it.
And says it was the worst vote of his entire life.
He said he repudiates it and repented before God.pic.twitter.com/PedaRJjxKE
The Remorse of Congressman Bobby Rush on His Vote for the Crime Bill
I need you to see this video. It is probably the most honest, most transparent moment you will ever seen from a politician on the true impact of Joe Biden's 1994 Crime Bill. It's honest and painful.

They made a freaking mistake as crime was high and they didn't foresee the implications of the bill! They're admitting it what's the point?
-
People are saying reject Biden because of the Crime Bill. I just got a text from a friend that said the Crime Bill vote is worse than any white supremacist statement Trump could ever make.
-
Geez. All of Trump’s newly nominated Fed judges refuse to affirm that Brown v. Board of Ed was necessary & landmark legislation and that voting rights act is still necesary. We need to fight TODAY’S battles.

My heart hurts for him, but it hurts more for those unjustly thrown into prison bc of that bill.

I hope a certain other politician does the same thing or at least has.

Missing here, however, is any understanding about drug pharmacology. Note: drugs are NOT the problem. Institutionalized oppression in the service of American greed IS the problem. Drug use, villified, becomes just another effective tool for racialized state oppression.

At least he apologized, there's many that supported that bill, but now that you know, CHANGE IT!

@JoeBiden should do the same. Instead, he pretends that it did not have the devastating effect that it did. Not good enough by a million miles. Therefore, the man can't be trusted with the power of the presidency.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

I don't see "God" sweeping in and doing anything about it, but I guess if it makes him feel better that the deity forced by white people upon African slaves forgives him, then ... great?

Maybe show this to the senator from Vermont and have him do the same instead of making excuses on why he voted for it!
@RepBobbyRush was honest and remorseful unlike some other politicians. -
Well, that’s just incorrect. The only on unapologetic about the crime bill@is Biden.https://youtu.be/dTwABqn2-30

I distinctly remember seeing the Senator from Vermont on CNN a few weeks ago dodging questions about whether he regrets his vote on the crime bill. He had a boatload of excuses but couldn't find one regret. So Biden's not the only one. HE
VOTED FOR IT! -
Watch
