Harris wins endorsement of civil rights attorney Benjamin Crump (unintentional humor)

Civil rights attorney Benjamin Crump is endorsing Kamala Harris for president, citing the California senator’s record on criminal justice and comparing her campaign to former President Barack Obama’s historic White House run in 2008.

Crump, a high-profile Florida attorney, represented Trayvon Martin’s family after the teen was shot and killed by neighborhood watch volunteer George Zimmerman in 2012. He has since represented other families whose children were killed in fatal altercations with white police officers that captured the nation’s attention, like Mike Brown Jr. in Ferguson, Mo., and 12-year-old Tamir Rice in Cleveland.

 

In a phone interview Monday afternoon, Crump said that while he had gotten calls from multiple campaigns, Harris was the candidate in the top tier who stood out to him.

“When you look up some of the stuff that she’s tried to do working from the inside, you know that she understands the challenges of trying to get progress when there are a lot of powers that be that are pushing against the cause for equal justice,” he said.

Specifically, he referenced Harris’ role as California attorney general in getting the state’s Justice Department to publish criminal justice data and her “Back-on-Track” reentry and anti-recidivism programs.

“Senator Kamala Harris has demonstrated an unbridled commitment to a fair and just criminal justice system from her very first days as district attorney,” Crump said in a statement obtained by POLITICO. “Our work on the outside championing reform relies on people on the inside who will make decisions informed by their cultural experiences and a willingness to listen.”

“Crump, a high-profile Florida attorney, represented Trayvon Martin’s family...”


Holy crap! Talk about yer kiss o’ death!

I guess we see who she’s pandering to - the low IQ voter. Well, that and illegals.

Benjamin Crump.
Sounds like a character on the old Carol Burnette Show.
Harvey Korman would have played the role,
Snidely Whiplash style.

Crump?
Oh, the bigot with a burning hatred of mixed race people.

Strange bedfellows indeed.

Well, that certainly sounds like an opportunity to unite the races for sure. /s/

“Democrats securely lashing themselves to the mast of their sinking ship!”

They are going to “historic woman of color” this ineligible whore into the nomination. It worked with Barry. Her family’s slave owning past cannot be stressed enough.

Two life long con artists.....

Validating their own life long actions.....

I wonder if Crump is enough of a legal scholar to figure out that KAMALA ISN’T ELIGIBLE TO BE PRESIDENT?

Neither of her parents were American citizens when she was born.

She is an anchor baby.....nothing else.

He is endorsing the Kamel-Ho that did the horizontal bop with Willie Brown?

BTW, was she married to that pussy husband of hers when she did this? If so, and if she wins the Presidency, I guess her husband will be the “First Male Eunuch”.
