The corrupt, ever

confuse Joe Biden expected to
announce his VP pick this week,
and african american leaders are
warning Biden that he will lose
the election if he does not
pick an african american female
running mate and today, our very
own Lawrence Jones, as
New Yorkers or two thousand and twenty
correspondent on the ground. Our
investigative reporter all
things two thousand and twenty joins us literally
right now in the streets of
New York City
good evening,
eighty four days until the election and
seems like the former
vice president cant get out of
his own way.
Now one hundred black male leaders
are saying they will not support
the former vice president in
less he picks a black female as
his vice presidential candidate.
In we talk to New Yorkers today.
This is what they had to say.
What do you think about him
saying that black people, all
think alike versus Latinos are
more diverse,
black people, all think alike,
thats his thinking?
How does that make you feel
here? We another white man
who has some antiquated views
that was, after he had already

not black,
a one hundred black men wrote a letter
and said in order for them to
support Joe Biden. They want a
black female to be the VP.
What are your thoughts on that? I dont think its the time
I dont think its the time
to try to leverage

affirmative action, and I have no
problem with that. Thats cool
saying earlier in the year.

Democratic Party would not just
pick Joe Biden and would vote
their conscience and right now.
