Senator Bernie Sanders (I., Vt.) released a slew of endorsements for state attorneys on Thursday, including one for Kim Foxx, the Cook County state’s attorney who was investigated for her decision to drop charges against former Empire actor Jussie Smollett.
“I am honored today to have the endorsement of Senator Sanders,” Foxx told Politico. “When I first ran four years ago on a platform that included a holistic approach to criminal justice reform, it was different than what previous prosecutors had ever attempted. Since in office, we’ve implemented bond and cannabis reform, we’re leading the country in vacating wrongful convictions and funneling more resources toward violent crimes to keep communities safe.”
Foxx admitted in announcing her reelection campaign in November that she “didn’t handle” the Smollett case well. “I’m making changes in my office to make sure we do better,” she said. “That’s what reform is about.”
Foxx was slammed for her decision last March to drop all charges against Smollett, after he was indicted by a grand jury for allegedly staging a hate crime against himself by hiring two associates to attack him last January.
“This case was handled markedly different from any other case at 26th Street. No one knows why, and more importantly, no one can explain why our boss, the head prosecutor of all of Cook County, has decided to so demean and debase both our hard work, and our already tenuous relationship with the Chicago Police Department,” an anonymous prosecutor in Foxx’s office wrote after the announcement.

OOOh that smell, can you smell that smell?
That smell of Smollett all around you.
He loves getting pushed around by angry black women.
Bernie Sanders - just more of the same ole same ole Deep State corruption.
If you sleep with dogs, you’re gonna have fleas, Bernie.
Comrade Bernie getting himself set up with the major Democrat-destroyed crime centers around the country....
Hoping she gets her ass handed to her in the primary. Rotten leftist sociopathic incompetent funded by Soros last time out.
If she wasn’t a Marxist, (like Sanders) she wouldn’t be where she is in Chicago and she certainly wouldn’t be funded by Soros dollars.
A not so-new “Red/Black” support system (between commies, corrupt black officials, and criminals -Smollett). If she is punished by the state’s judicial system re the conduct of a judge, she should be thrown out of office immediately.
Only then will people begin to hope that judicial corruption in Chicago/Illinois will no longer be tolerated.
[Yeah, in my best wet dream}/ SARCing MAO.
Bernie is just so woke, so hip! He’s the wokest of the wokes!!!
I might have to vote for him, I want to be woke just like him!
Right. And there have been more of her type in Chicago the last few years, replacing the old-fashioned Democrat machine graft artists.
Wow, an idiot endorses another idiot.
Bernie’s ripe and ready to take a landslide loss. If that Foxx moron knows what’s good for her she won’t even run again.
Just gives you an idea of what kind of people he would fill his administration with if he became President (God forbid).
The Commies all stick together.

Maybe Bernie is a career DERP. I heard Bernie was living at a commune back in the day until the men kicked him out for not working. He would sit around talking to all the women about politics instead of doing farm chores and contributing the manual labor the rest of the men all did. Finally, as result of his laziness, he was asked to leave. I always wondered if he was a plant and a informant back then.
He wanted every one else to work while he considered himself sufficiently superior to every one else he just expected them to gratefully labor away under his direction. Fast forward 50 years and isn’t it still the same ? I guess Bernie never got over the trauma of his early rejection.
It forged him into the bitter old man he is now, IMHO.

I’ve heard that story. I doubt that he was traumatized. More like he considered them the losers for not wanting to hear him drone on and on brilliantly hour after hour.
Sanders has always been in love with his own voice. Imagine that!
Baby got back - ing!
To be more accurate, a couple of young fools from his campaign should be holding the fork while Bernie talks to Trump.
Bernie won’t be the one getting burned.
