    Context. This is Joe Biden arguing before Congress that his death penalty proposal is deadlier and covers more offenses, 51, than that of then President George Bush. He's wanting it to be clear that he is to the right of President Bush on this issuehttps://twitter.com/shaunking/status/1130513283050614785 …

    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

        Shaun, with respect, your constant attacks on Biden aren’t helpful. We literally have Satan in the White House right now. So much is on the line. Joe Biden is not the enemy. Promoting Bernie? Ok. Attacking Joe? Ugh. We are not in normal times. Tearing down other candidates? No.

        As long as Joe Biden lies about his role in creating mass incarceration I will continue to speak out.

        I appreciate you shedding light on stuff like this but you’ve continuously been attacking Biden in a time where we need to be united as possible. He’s not my 1st choice by any means, but let’s hold on some attacks until at least the 1st dem debate

        Context 1991 NYC murders = 2,154(!) 2019 NYC murders = 289 (!!!) A lot easier to judge a crime bill’s unintended negative side effects now that all the intended positive side effects have been forgotten, unappreciated &/or taken for granted.

        The crime bill did not actually lead to lower crime for New York. In fact, as statistics will show the crime rate was already dropping from its peak. In addition, you could argue if we had tackled the crack epidemic same way as opioids we probably would have seen trend earlier.

        The crime bill is an abomination, and one the reason Biden will never ever get my vote.

        The other reason Anita Hill, people forget if not for Biden, Clarence Thomas is not on the Supreme court right now. One of the most infuriating judges in the history of the supreme court. At least the other conservatives make sense as originalists. I don't get Thomas at all.

        I don’t have any candidates on the democratic side that I would sit out the one chance to defeat this clown over. Biden is far from my top choice & I’m fairly certain he won’t be the nominee so I’m not concerned TBH

        It's going to be painful watching you walk into a voting booth and selecting the Biden ticket in 2020.

        Will you vote for Biden if he's the Democratic nominee? Or will you vote for Trump? Or not vote at all? Your tactics are short-sighted, Shaun.
