Former Joe Biden running mate hopeful Karen Bass spoke with Nicolle Wallace on MSNBC’s Deadline earlier today and talked about the police shooting of Jacob Blake.
Bass asked, “Where are we if a family in their hour of need has to remind everyone that their boy is human?” Bass smiled as she responded that “it shows how profound the statement Black Lives Matter is.”
She said Blake was shot while “breaking up a fight” and asked, “what possible threat could he have prevented?” She then mentioned Dylann Roof and said the police “were kind enough to give him lunch.”
She also tweeted about it after, saying “Jacob Blake broke up a fight and police shot him in the back seven times. Dylan Roof killed nine people at Emanuel AME Church and police bought him Burger King.”
