      A lot of lies, particularly from @JoeBiden, are being told about the 1994 Crime Bill. He was the primary author of it and advocate for it. He said this week that it didn't impact mass incarceration. Watch this scene from 13th where they make clear that it did exactly that.pic.twitter.com/Up4YaSyUp6

      The True Impact of the 1994 Crime Bill Written by Joe Biden
      In Ava Duvernay's documentary on mass incarceration, 13th, which is available now on Netflix, scholars and justice reform experts unpack the devastation caused by the 1994 Crime Bill.

      I am three things. A trained historian, a lifelong civil rights advocate who has pushed for criminal justice reforms now for 22 years, and a journalist who was published over 1,5000 articles on injustice in America. What I am about to say brings those three things together.

      ANYONE who says as @JoeBiden said this week, that the 1994 Crime Bill did not expand mass incarceration, is either willfully ignorant or a deliberate liar. It DOUBLED the number of people in prison in 10 years and nearly TRIPLED it in 20. Every single expert will tell you this.

      Joe Biden Didn't Just Vote for the Crime Bill - He Wrote/Fought For It
      Here is Joe Biden, in 1993, fighting tooth and nail for the crime bill. It should be called a mass incarceration bill. Listen as he uses racial tropes and fear tactics to rally votes.

      2019 @JoeBiden says the 1994 Crime Bill had NOTHING to do w/ states. He's even having his surrogates go out and say the exact same lie. But I need you to hear 1995 @JoeBiden. He literally WROTE THE LAWS making sure that states were required to be harsh in order to get funding.pic.twitter.com/eYYRpYgC4D

      Joe Biden Bragging That States Will Now All Have Mandatory Minimums
      This week Joe Biden said that his 1994 Crime Bill DID NOT IMPACT STATES. It was primarily for the states and he literally wrote the laws making sure states had to follow the law to receive funding.

      Yesterday something truly painful happened. A dozen activists wrote me saying they were sick to their stomachs seeing it. The Biden campaign asked @SymoneDSanders to say that the crime bill only impacted states. At 1:37 the anchor called their bluff.pic.twitter.com/tKupcvBf7S

      This is 22 years after the crime bill passed. @RepBobbyRush just said it was the single worst vote of his life. Given a chance to acknowledge the pain caused by the bill, @JoeBiden offers a sly grin and says he doesn't regret it a bit. Then brags that he wrote it. HORRIBLE.pic.twitter.com/lI5jx2vDGp

      Black people are literally the only voters in America expected to have a substantive problem with a presidential candidate on POLICY and be expected to tuck that shit in EIGHTEEN MONTHS before the presidential election for the good of 1 of 22 people running for President.

          A question to black people. A large majority of the same problems we had in the 60s are still here. What policies from either party has done anything to fix it? What “promises” made by current candidates will actually happen? Hint: it has always been NONE

          He doesn’t realize (or care) how far admitting his mistake & showing true remorse for it would take him; his arrogance of privilege/pride won’t let him do that, & reveals his true heart. I can/will NOT support anyone who smiles in my face as they piss on me & tell me it’s rain!
