Shaun King, November 14, 2018: “I am 99% sure I won’t be supporting” Joe Biden and Kamala Harris because they “helped build & advance mass incarceration.”
I'll be frank and tell you two Democrats that I am 99% sure I won't be supporting – primarily because of their dismal history on criminal justice reform over the course of their entire careers.
Joe Biden & Kamala Harris.
They both helped build & advance mass incarceration.

CHASER. . .
Welcome to the 1%? Here he is from yesterday: “Kamala Harris is the most progressive VP nominee in American history.”
That's it for me.
I am incredibly proud to see a brilliant Black woman, and HBCU grad, chosen as a Vice Presidential nominee.
I've done political work my whole life. It's rarely things dreams are made of.
Kamala Harris is the most progressive VP nominee in American history.

He’s evolved?
I have about 15 substantive critiques of Kamala's time as District Attorney of San Francisco. I'd give her a D+/C- for how harsh she was as DA.
That ended in 2011.
Every year, for the past 9 years since she left that position, she has gotten MUCH better on justice reform.

And:
Among current United States Senators, I would rank Kamala Harris in the Top 3 on justice reform issues.
As we know, she has a mastery of the system, but has evolved and grown a great deal on this.
Her remarks on justice over the past 4 months were the best of ANY Senator.

LOL. Yes, he endorsed Bernie and now Bernie is done. Kaput. That ship has sailed and King wants to stay relevant. Well, good luck with that:
Yes.
In 2018, I said I did not plan on endorsing either Joe Biden or Kamala Harris IN THE DEMOCRATIC PRIMARIES.
I endorsed Bernie.
I’ve been a strong critic of Biden & Harris on issues of justice.
She has grown and evolved on policing & justice.
Especially this summer. https://t.co/RwuR8weka1
