Former National Press Secretary of Senator Sanders, Briahna Joy Gray, a young woman who publicly mocked @repjohnlewis decided today, out of all days, when we laid him to rest, to share this comment about silence. As a proud member of #KHive, I have to respond...long thread https://twitter.com/briebriejoy/status/1288962175390842891

The #KHive was formed by a diverse group of people who came together organically to support & defend Kamala from constant misogynoir she faces not only from MSM but SPECIFICALLY from "self-ordained progressive" Sanders supporters who coined the racist trope “Kamala is a cop.”

So, it is truly rich when Ms. Gray comments on what she calls “TOXIC” behavior of KHive! Perhaps, you can have a chat with your friends to understand what TOXIC behaviour truly looks like...

It is a known fact that Ms. Gray has ridiculed @repjohnlewis in the past stating “We know Lewis will throw cats under the bus if it will help the DNC.”

You know what speaks volumes Ms. Gray? your silence today as our nation laid to rest a civil rights icon whom you mocked!

Remember, Ms. Gray, that you are a Black woman with privilege, privilege to attend Harvard, privilege you have thanks to giants like Representative Lewis who shed their blood on the Edmund Pettus Bridge for YOUR civil rights.

It is painfully arrogant to us #Khive when you and some of your fellow Sanders supporters reduce the entirety of this great soul's tireless and painful fights for justice to the term Establishment Democrat to demean him!

You know what else speaks volumes Ms. Gray? your ability to empathize with AOC on the misogynistic way she was treated, but yet, your silence when a fierce Black woman, who has paved the way for young Black Women like YOU in politics, is told to stay in her lane.

You know what else speaks volumes Ms. Gray? your silence in the wake of allegations of misogyny and toxic behavior by high profile Bernie supporters running for office like Shahid Buttar and Cenk Uygur! Where is your outrage at their behavior?

Ms. Gray, unlike you, Senator Sanders understands the urgency of this moment in our history for us to come together to help elect VP Biden, and is actively working with VP Biden in a constructive way to include diverse voices.

I cannot say the same about you from your divisive posts & threat to withhold your vote which will give us 4 more years of Trump! Same goes for other surrogates - including one who compares voting for Biden to eating s**T, & yet, whose name is pushed for VP by your CADEM Friends!

One final note: Remember that you stand on the shoulders of giants who have come before you! Check your arrogance which pushes you to think that you are the only righteous one in a fight that heroes in every generation like @repjohnlewis have fought!
