Sanders advisor accuses Democrats of suppressing black vote

Liberty Unyielding: At one of the final debates he appeared in before suspending his campaign, South Bend, Ind. Mayor Pete Buttigieg lamented the lack of diversity among candidates still in the race for the Democratic nomination. What made the observation remarkable was not Buttigieg’s myopic focus on diversity: That is an obsession all liberals share. Rather it was that his indictment was self-directed. If anyone was to blame for the fact that Kamala Harris and Cory Booker — two black candidates — were no longer in the race, it was their own party, which had turned its back on them.

We are now witnessing a similar phenomenon at work. In this case, the accuser is radical Bernie Sanders adviser Phillip Agnew, who castigated his party for suppressing black votes.

Generally when Democrats level charges of voter suppression, it is aimed at Republicans, who, for example, advocate for voter IDs as a means to eradicating fraud. This time, however, the blame was placed at the feet of Democrats themselves.
