Investigative reporter Sharyl Attkisson fired back at Democratic Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren over a tweet memorializing the 2009 death of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri.
Brown’s death on August 9, 2009, at the hands of Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson, sparked nationwide protests as the public seized on later-debunked claims that Brown had thrown up his hands in surrender prior to Wilson shooting him.

Take away race rage and what do democrats have to say to the black community?
Nothing.
Well, they could point to Balitmore and Chicago and point out more than two billion dollars went to the ‘black communities’ in those cities and that NOT ONE PERSON can be found who got money or knows someone who got money... (the total sent to Baltimore and Chicago adds up to $25,000 for every man, woman and child living in those black communities)...
Democrats work hard to keep rage directed at white people - but we’re NOT the people who took their money.
But I suspect democrats won’t be saying that - for the obvious reasons.
Now available: Sharyl's latest book Smear. Five stars!
Watch Sharyl host "Full Measure," a Sunday morning talk show on the Sinclair network. More info.

I’d like to hear Cheryl’s take on RON Brown’s demise.
Bump! Amen!!
Toothpaste, toothpaste tube, etc.
I think 'white nationalist' is gaining on 'racist.' Gotta keep the message fresh :)
Fact Checks/ Come on Sharyl, this was a grounder. If a dems mouth is moving, he is lying. Simple fact check.
Was the family of Brown ever paid money
And then there’s the T-shirt sales. There was apparently enough money for the different parts of the family to get in a fight on the street over it...
I’m far from the champion political prognosticator. But for 50 years the Dems have NEVER had to do ANYTHING to get (and to know they would get) the Black vote.
But in the last two weeks or so, they’ve gone into racist overdrive. I believe this is quite noticeable. Nothing Trump has ever done has not been racist. No action has not been about race, and no conclusion is possible other than he is the most virulent racist that has ever lived.
See, I happen to think that the Dems are in a tough spot, not that I care. They want to pander to immigrants because of the demographic promise and the humanitarian imaging of the border refugee issue. I don’t think open borders in the name of infinite humanitarianism is an especially winning issue, but I don’t think the way they do, obviously. But even the most ignorant Black has got to see that infinite accomodation of immigrants is largely at the expense of Blacks. Even as Blacks hear “racist, racist, racist 24/7” they are seeing and sensing the diminution of their victimhood. They are about to fall down a notch on the victimhood hierarchy. I think they see that. I think they see that the more this is bleated about, the less will be done about it.
Polls (and I neither follow them religiously nor care about them) are showing persistent and firming support among Blacks for Trump. At least that’s my take on what I hear reported. I for one am glad they are doing this early, because there’s plenty of time for this to fizzle. By “fizzle” I mean the Dems reactionary stance to the perception that they are losing the Black vote. Will they write it off? They may have no choice. As they get more and more exercised (and they are RIGHT to be exercised because if they truly lose the Black vote they WILL lose the election) So either they write off or they get even MORE frantic and their franticness is, IMO transparently fake.
And yes, I am using the single example of E. Warren as my “tell” and maybe that’s jumping the shark. You tell me what possible affinity Warren has to Blacks. None, I say. This is to my knowledge the first time she has even hinted at caring one iota about Blacks. But she got her marching orders.
Yeah I saw that, the fight over the tee shirts, unreal but a plaque? Whaaat? I think I can safely assume it doesn’t say “On this spot Michael Brown attempted to kill a cop and failed”
I wish I were kidding.
Oh good God, unreal! Did you read what they wrote? I don’t even think they knew!
“He left an afterglow of smiles when life was done”
Huh? What are they saying? People were happy when he died?? LOL!
I think the simpler explanation is 60% of the South Carolina primary voters are black and most of them voted for Hillary.
They should have wrote...
“Hey robbed a store, tried to kill a cop
but met the 2nd and and got shot”
Please check post 12
Where exactly do you get that “Michael Brown had his hands raised above his head, ...”
Thanks for posting that.
Without a race war, without a sex war, without a Mexican war, the democrats have chance.
Beware 2024!
