No. Thats the coverage from Roland's channel.

Lmfaooo I tuned in JUST at the moment after she said it...I was wondering why dude had such a serious look on his face. She got too comfortable she felt like she was in a safe space with family and forgot it's still media coverage lol.

I get it! But as someone in the political light that’s NEVER something you should put on camera. Especially as a black women. That will always be twisted and point to as “You See!”

eh...I hear you bro...but this political climate is different than ones in years past. Rashida Talib was on camera saying "We're gonna impeach the motherfucker!" and won another term, Marjorie Trailer green's Neanderthal ass is on camera constantly dropping f-bombs on reporters and she's still being elevated.

Having said all that....I hope the sista doesn't make a habit of doing that in public.

@Camille

Pre-Trump I may have agreed with you. However, all these respectability ideals went out the window when the GOP and evangelicals lifted him up as their standard bearer. Any and all transgressions they can accuse dems of, he has already committed in abundance. Besides, she wasn't giving a traditional media interview, she was on Roland Martin UNFILTERED.

Right

And I agree with Reecie Colbert when she says “This is the season for matching energy.” That we go high shit is for the birds.

That's easy. I would have said whooping Trumps ass!

I hear you! Not gonna lie, I’m not a fan of this new generation(overall) of politicians.

They’re openingly nasty and aggressive. Ultimately not sure it’s the best for the country!

See that’s the problem. MAGA are not real Republicans.
They are the ones that bought out the ugly side.

You pick at kids, you pick at the disable, you show nothing but hatred in everything you do. At some point, people get tired of that BS.

The days of candidates like McCain are no longer in that party or atleast not in the fore front.



I agree it’s not healthy for the country, but at some point you have to start defending yourself against the Bully.

Like I was saying to @Camille @DC_Dude this new generation of politics is openly nasty!

Gotta always worry about the clap back.

Is this going to turn into they escalate and we “match that energy?”

Madness, Lunacy, and Utter chaos to follow!

 

[Tdot_firestarta]

btw finally got a chance to watch some of the Day 2 speeches...The energy from the Roll Call was palpable...everybody seemed fired up. really loved the Jasmine Crockett speech, she showed a vulnerable side that we've never seen. Really Loved the Angela Alsobrooks speech.....Anna Navarro, AOC, Hillary, really all of the speakers were solid and effective at varying degrees....

Michelle and Barack Obama are two of the greatest Orators in modern history....The poise, cadence and delivery Barack has is like seeing Steph shooting 3's when he's in the zone. Michelle was as close to perfect as you can get, loved that she completely abandoned the edict of "when they go low we go high". She pulled no punches and had the right balance of optimism, indignation and urgency.

Caught the Wes Moore a.k.a the 48th president speaking with Roland and speaking on stage yesterday, he was on point as usual. Gonna check out last nights speeches etc. when i get home tonight.

The roll call was awesome. I missed part of it and actually went back to watch that from beginning to end.

Reminds me of when Birdman clapped back at CthaGod on the Breakfast Club lol

She's responsible for creating the CFPB. I really wanted her to be Prez four years ago.
