    1991. 3 years before the 1994 Crime Bill became law, before Bill Clinton was ever elected President, @JoeBiden proposes giving the death penalty to so many crimes that he lost count. Here he quotes a newspaper that says he gives the death penalty to "everything but jaywalking."pic.twitter.com/IjTbLHBs4Z

        1991. 3 years before the Crime Bill becomes law. The bill is named after Joe Biden. Biden takes to the floor to brag about all the people that will get the death penalty from his bill. He even mocked Bernie. Bernie then gave this STRONG speech.pic.twitter.com/H0eGAS71ro

        This is Bernie Speaking Out in 1991 Against Joe Biden's Crime Bill
        This is 3 years before Joe Biden's Crime Bill became law. This is before Bill Clinton became President. And Bernie Sanders gives the single best, strongest speech opposing it.

        Disproportionately target black and brown people for abuse in nearly every aspect. His approach is fight the root causes, which are the malicious policies in place. So does he have a 'black agenda', no. But a great number of his policies would greatly help black people.

        He has not and will not be my choice for the primary, however if it is between biden and trump I am definitely voting for Joe. There are about 10 candidates I would rather be on the ticket before him though.

        It's nice to see someone with a large profile sharing this stuff. Thank you, the people need the TRUTH. It's what the damn primaries are for. May the best CANDIDATE win! That's what democracy is about.

        Then explain why Biden still refers to marijuana as a "gateway" drug and is opposed to legalization?

        Shaun, I do believe the bill was morally indefensible then and now and Biden or Sanders should not get a clean pass.

        Please understand. The reason the body politic has swung so wildly to the right is because those who were supposed to be advocating our position haven't been. These so-called moderates are one of the major causes of President Trump.

        I like Joe, not the crime bill, but there are things I said and did in the 90’s that I wish I hadn’t. My fear is that there is a section of this country who will see Trump and Biden on the ballot, last year they voted for Trump and this year they may be more likely to vote Biden.
