I lived in South Carolina when this happened and a few days before it hit national news the local news on NPR were running bits “where is the governor” on the hour. It was a funny and surreal thing to experience unfold. First he was hiking. Then his wife was releasing a clearly annoyed statement. Then a local reporter on a hunch bought the cheapest airplane ticket she could get and stood outside the gate of a plane coming in from Argentina and sure enough he was on it. Then it hit national news and the rest is history.

I really felt like a part of something that weekend, ya know

Could you feel like you were hiking the Appalachian Trail yourself the whole time? Sounds magical

trump's nickname for warren being pocahontas when she had something like less than 2% native dna and had to apologize on stage at a native american forum while bernie got honoured with a native name is still funny

Also that one governor or congressman from the bible belt who disappeared for like a week and then it turned out he was with his mistress

He won re-election

The day after the story broke was the day Michael Jackson died. The media immediately diverted their attention because a dead celebrity was more important than a governor disappearing, and the story basically died.

I thought it wasn't an intern, but actually 3-5 well paid full positions.

For those who don't remember he made a good video, got hired by the Bernie campaign, then let go after some old videos of his were found. At the time it was kind of ambiguous how bullshit it was but now it looks like that was definitely a dodged bullet

Joe Biden summarized it better than I ever could when he was on the phone with those black community leaders. He brought up the large number of mixed race couples in advertising and asked what more they wanted. The thing is, he wasn't wrong, if you watch TV like 70% of commercials feature mixed race couples anymore, it's clearly a conscious decision on the part of marketers to feature more of that sort of diversity. The cops will keep murdering your children at random, but you're represented! We see you, we hear you, we feel your pain!

its impossible for black people to oppress black people just like it's impossible for whites to suffer under white leadership

Gordon Brown got confronted by a woman being very racist, and when he got recorded calling her a bigot in private it became national scandal and he was forced to apologise to the racist woman for calling her racist.

This became a sticking point in that General Election.

Also he spent all the poonds.
