Yesterday, Michael Tracey, a roving reporter for The Young Turks, a progressive news show on YouTube with millions of subscribers, decided to come for Auntie Maxine Waters (D-CA) before he was ready. During the March for Truth in Los Angeles, Tracey and his cameraman Ty Bayliss approached Waters and asked her about the Democratic Partys focus on RussiaGate as well as her previous support for a U.S. / Russian solution to the Syrian conflict under Obama. When Waters answered then dismissed further questions from Tracey, he went full SuperSaiyanWypipoBernieBro and posted the following on Twitter.
Tracey followed up with some epic concern trolling, repeatedly claiming the incident wasnt violent but ratcheting up the conflict with words like shove and push. He threw in some racially coded words like criminal and intemperate just to make sure his dog whistle was in digital surround sound.
Once Tracey posted the explosive video of his encounter with Congressman Waters, most journalists were less than impressed.

(45,567 posts)This little twitter claim that Waters 'shoved him' was just another of his stunts to smear Dems as being 'the same/worse than' Republicans.
That mean Maxine is just like Gianforte!!!
Notice also the bullshit line of questioning. Again following the alt-right script on Trump/Russia.
Those self-identified 'progressives' at TYT sure know how to pick them, don't they?
Don't get me started on Jimmy Dore, Hannity's little dem-hating helper in torturing Seth Rich's parents.

(96,535 posts)Was that somehow intended to give Tracey more credibility because he is African American?
The fact that both Tracey and Bayliss both are employed by the TYT is more relevant to the lack of credibility than their ethnic background

Just my first impressions

(47,209 posts)Offended was pretty pathetic. He had other people who could have backed him up, that guy seemed embarrassed he was chosen. So stupid.
