Hey there,
Joe Biden's senior campaign advisor, Symone Sanders, has come for Jordan!
This past weekend, Symone was on CNN helping presidential candidate Joe Biden double down on the 1994 crime bill (Jordan shows you the clip in this video). Even candidate Kamala Harris has come out strongly against the bill, saying: "That crime bill, that 1994 crime bill, it did contribute to mass incarceration in our country. It encouraged and was the first time that we had a federal three-strikes law. It funded the building of more prisons in the states. So, I disagree, sadly."
Of course, Jordan wasn't going to let Symone's pretzel-twisty responses slide.

Jordan tweeted this in response to Symone's CNN spot:

To which she replied:

And Jordan replied:

And then Ava DuVernay got into the mix, saying:

Phew! It was quite the exchange. What's most important is that Joe Biden is wrong and has always been wrong about the crime bill and it's horrific that Symone Sanders is willing to twist herself into that pretzel to try to back him up on it.
THIS is why you love Jordan's reporting and Status Coup. We don't let the powerful get away with saying whatever they want—we call them out on it.
