Leaked 2015 Memo Told Dems: ‘Don’t Offer Support’ For Black Lives Matter..(*double post)

....*Policy Positions.

The memo lists several suggestions for how Democratic congressional candidates should handle an encounter with a Black Lives Matter activist.

WASHINGTON ― “Don’t offer support” for the “concrete policy positions” of Black Lives Matter protesters, the chief organization charged with electing Democrats to the House of Representatives warned its candidates in an internal memo leaked online on Wednesday.

The document was posted online by Guccifer 2.0, a hacker who has claimed to be responsible for the Democratic National Committee email leak. Guccifer claims the document is from the personal computer of House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.). A number of cybersecurity firms and Democrats have attributed the leaks to Russian hackers (though Guccifer 2.0 has denied working for the Kremlin).

“Presidential candidates have struggled to respond to tactics of the Black Lives Matter movement,” reads the memo, sent by a Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee staffer in November. “While there has been little engagement with House candidates, candidates and campaign staff should be prepared. This document should not be emailed or handed to anyone outside of the building. Please only give campaign staff these best practices in meetings or over the phone.”

Black Lives Matter has become a force during the 2016 election by repeatedly calling on presidential candidates to address the systemic inequalities faced by black Americans. The movement has offered policy suggestions, held demonstrations and interrupted presidential campaign speeches in order to call attention to anti-black racism.

Pelosi’s office declined to comment on the leak.

key words in the "official" doc at the Huffpost link.

The word Democratic is mistakenly spelled "Democrat".

The word in the last sentence is spelled "Africans American"

First of all no Democrat would use either of these spellings in an official doc.

Guess someone went ahead and edited the thing before making it public.
Its an edited version of the original.

What else was edited for proper damning impact?

And people aren't buying what lying fraud Guccifer/Assange/Putin's piss ants hackers are selling.
Maybe someone should tell Shaun King that he cannot really be this gullible.
Trust him? Touting this propaganda as anything but what it is just bombed Shaun King's trustability to ZERO.

This doc has been altered & conveniently edited from the original for damning impact.
I would think Shaun King would be more informed as to the reported ongoings of Team Guccifer & his hacks.

Wtf!

I don't care what they find out about Hillary or Democrats (I'm fed up with all of them), I'm still voting for her...it's still got to be better than Trump. And I was a Bernie Sanders supporter so I'm not in love with Clinton...either one. But I hate/fear Trump more with a purple passion, and the day I vote for him, grapes will be as big as watermelons.

Shaun King has been shilling for the alt-left all season and making up flat out lies because he wanted to appeal to politically ignorant white kids who hate the "Democratic Establishment".

I'll trust him again when he gets back to actual reporting.
