Biden was sucking up to the Clintons. Then-Pres Bill Clinton's 1994 crime bill demanded:
<><> stiffer penalties for inner city criminals,
<><> mass incarcerations of minorities,
<><> It encouraged and for the first time the US had a federal three-strikes and you're out law,
<><> It funded the building of more prisons in the states.....
Then-First Lady Hillary took to the mic to burnish her ambitions, and stupidly called the black criminals "super-predators."
"We have to bring them to heel," Hillary insisted.
Black protesters showed up at her 2016 campaign events, reminding her of her choice of words to describe them.
I’m willing to bet that those protestors showed up during the primary and not the general.
