WFB: Maryland gubernatorial candidate Ben Jealous (D.) had to explain Thursday why his campaign’s official Twitter account liked a vulgar tweet attacking police as “dirty Cunt cops,” saying it didn’t reflect his true position.
The tweet in question was from Feb. 3 and read,
“Yet people still believe cops are saints, and Freddie Gray killed himself. Fuck #BlueLivesMatter and all these dirty Cunt cops. You aren’t a cop if you’re dirty…you’re a target to the criminal world. If you get killed…that’s on you.”
It quote-tweeted a Feb. 2 tweet by Jealous saying it was time to end the “failed war on drugs” because it had “corrupted too many police officers,” linking to a story about Baltimore police corruption.
The “Ben Jealous for Governor” account “liked” the tweet, but a campaign spokesman said it was the result of a staffer’s mistake.
This link won’t last long. Open fast. Dang funny.

True – his “true position” would’ve used LOTS MORE vulgarity and insults!
Mistake? How about fired? Or that won’t fly in Baltimore?
