[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t think Silverman’s tweet implied a “quid pro quo” and I think those who jumped on her were totally misconstruing what she said.  Yeah, I get it folks are worked up and eager to call stuff out these days so I’m not surprised by some of the more emotional citizenry expressing their thoughts.

But Kenyan...Brandon...c’mon that’s just flat out selfish political opportunism.  For them to jump on the bandwagon and say, “Yeah I’m offended” is irresponsible and disingenuous in my estimation.  They’re just trying to earn themselves “cool points” with Black constituents.

That being said, Silverman and others need to recognize the times and climate we’re in right now.  This is not a “Type and Send” season we’re in.  All elected officials need to understand they are in the spotlight right now and it’s 100% “Pause and Consider” time when it comes to tweets and comments.

The outrage is uncalled for but she could have exercised better judgment.  Nonetheless, nobody’s perfect so I say cut her some slack.[/quote]

Just another reason why we are glad Brandon Todd has been voted out. [/quote]
