Far, far left politician. Out of respect for the dead, that's all I'll say.

Oh I know. I must be in a generous mood. Of course the Bay Area has produced a rogue’s gallery of left-wing nutjob politicians that I can spew venom on - Pete Stark, Barbara Lee, Gavin Newsome, Barbara Boxer, etc. etc.

Dellums used to complain about being called “the Berkeley radical” while in Congress.

He will not be missed.

One of the first card carrying Communists to serve in Congress. They are no longer a novelty.

I thought the old commie was already dead. Watch and see his Oakland pals, and their Louie Farrakahn connections, use the Dellum memorial as a political rally. There will be fund raising, voter registration (for Dems only, of course!), BLM, Antifa and La Raza information booths. It’ll be like a Block Party for ex-convicts!

He wasn’t always one of my favorite Democrats, but he is today.

The man was a liar and an apologist for mass murderers. IIRC, he was busted for pre-writing his findings report on his trip to Grenada, that “all was well”.
