Screenshot of Cornel West tweet on Oct 19, 2023.
"As an independent candidate and a free Black man, I accept donations within the limits of no PACs or corporate interest groups that have strings attached. I am unbought and unbossed. Despite my deep political differences with brother Harlan Crow (who is an anti-Trump Republican), I’ve known him in a non-political setting for some years and I pray for his precious family. I find it hypocritical for those who highlight his $3300 donation to my campaign but can’t say a mumbling word about the PAC-driven billion dollars to support the genocidal attack in Gaza sponsored by their candidate! I’m fighting for Truth, Justice, and Love! Onward! #TruthJusticeLove
#PeaceNow #EndTheGenocide"
Overhead view of the crowd from behind the podium of the Bernie Sanders 2019 rally in Queens, NY with AOC. This was the first rally Bernie did after having a heart attack and almost 30K people showed up to show their support for the Senator for POTUS.
After this rally, Bernie's momentum in the polls ramped and he soon took over Joe Biden in the polls as the number one Democratic party candidate choice.
👀 Coincidence. On the anniversary of the 2019 Bernie Sanders in Queens rally. imo one of the biggest political comebacks this century and brightest moment of #Bernie2020, Cornel West torpedoes his campaign for POTUS.
Looks like West announcing his POTUS run on Russell Brand's show was foretelling.
