I’m happy about this. Every interview I’ve seen of Mckesson, he’s always on point. Good luck to him.

Personally, I have to assume Black Lives don’t Matter, or they would not be taking so many.

Plus if 18-30 voters are ever about to get going on Bernie’s Revolution, this is where the leaders have to come from: inside their own generation.

Way to distill a complex issue into a Trump like sound bite! You should be running for President.

Yeah, he does a good job at not only answering questions critical of BLM but of destroying the underlying premise of the question.

Wonder if McKesson would consider VP for the Dem nominee?

Seconded, your comment and @turdburgler’s. And he got some terrific exposure on Colbert a week ago or so, a great segment for a larger audience who mostly didn’t know him. Hope to see him involved in our politics for decades to come.
