When you belong to an ideology that runs on identity politics, power, and empty platitudes, rampant hypocrisy should be unsurprising.
Michigan Dem Rep. James Clyburn appeared dismayed over a photo taken at a rally for progressive U.S. Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed on Wednesday.
“I saw a picture that concerned me from the rally. I didn’t see a single person that looks like me. That tells me all I need to know,” Clyburn, who is supporting El-Sayed’s Democrat primary opponent, Rep. Haley Stevens, said.
It’s unclear what photo Clyburn was speaking of, but here’s a short clip of El-Sayed’s recent rally:
