Some politicians are so fearful of former President Donald Trump retaking the White House that “they don’t really want to tell the full truth,” West said. “[Biden has] created the best economy that we can get. Is this the best that we can get? You don’t tell that lie to the people just for Biden to win,” West said in a clip played on CNN Sunday.

    Wait, you’re calling it a lie in huge letters because the person said half a million in child support and not half a million in child support and taxes? That seems needlessly nitpicky and also needlessly aggressive.

      considering the tax debt is 90% of that amount, i’d say the article itself is being dishonest.

        I’m not sure owing tens of thousands in child support is the glowing endorsement of Cornel West you think it is.

            Why is it moot that he neglected his children just because they’re adults? I’d say that neglect says a lot about his character.

                He absolutely did. He didn’t pay child support. That’s neglect.

                  you can call it neglect, but i’d look to the people involved, not some court in racist usa to tell me whether they were neglected.

                    Yeah, you just blamed someone for their son’s death. I don’t think you get to have this conversation anymore.

              as far as i know none of his kids have died or agreed to be a gun-for-hire for his employers, so west is still a far better father than biden in my opinion.

                Whataboutism is also not a good endorsement of a neglectful parent. And blaming Biden for his son’s death is sick.

                  i didn’t blame him for his son’s death, but children dying can be a pretty good indicator of neglect

                    His son died when he was 46. What the fuck are you talking about?

                    Yes he was. He didn’t play child support. And suggesting Biden killed his son is disgusting.
