Democrats Denounce 1994 Crime Bill Passed Under Bill Clinton | MSNBC
Congress should have term limits just like presidents. Somebody who has been in congress for 50 years can get a lot of power.
These people that were there 22 years ago have been there too long...far too long.
Then why do you support someone with consistently horrible judgment?
+Shawn Damratowski Or more accurately "Why do you support the people who pushed for the bill that you are ashamed voting for?"
so you talk about how bad and ashamed you are of the crime bill but your supporting the people he pushed it... sounds a lil backwards to me
+Capo Gainz: He is just another fake ashe mutter flopper.
How about now...
@@AbrahamLechLacha same opinion. What about you?
CapoVelli it Still sounds backwards to me. More than Ever...
@@AbrahamLechLacha Chumps For Trump 2020!
If this fool thinks Shillary will do what he wants, he's crazy .
+Time For Change I agree
I agree he is foolish. And all of them was wrong (including Bernie), on paper it was probably meant for everybody, but they should have known it was only going to be enforced in minority neighborhoods.
4 years later we have people actively trying to elect a man that helped write and signed the bill.
the murder rate dropped by 50%
@@yw9113 Biden says he doesn’t regret it
Both Dems AND Republicans supported this bill. There were only four nays…
I'm Ashamed, You call yourself a servent of the community. 😥😵
why is the african american community constantly voting against their own interests? we need more african american leaders (that aren't connected to the clinton dynasty) to come out and represent real change (ie. bernie sanders). listen to nina turner, cornell west, spike lee... listen to bernie. think for yourselves.
Eric Neal because it was unconstitutional to begin with period.

Maga 2020!!!!!
Sandy Candy: The truth is, they need to stop listening to ALL of those people that enhance victimization. Instead, parents/guardians prepare and nurture their own children for school & academics, not ideologies. School isn't easy, but the rewards of a good education is what is needed. As citizens, demand better teachers. Learn and embrace their independent rights as individual sovereign American citizens, every American citizen is already protected by the U.S. Constitution, the Bill of Rights and the Civil Rights codes (prior to democrat rewrites in 2020). We've been fooled that modern globalist politicians & activists are more important, the truth is the founders/framers (regardless of race) were smarter and the citizenry 'are' protected. The People just don't realize others are keeping a job by acting as if they are fighting to protect them. Stop aspiration marketing to the kids, a sneaker is just a sneaker. Demand and embrace to help their own children be educated with real academics including reading, 'writing', arithmatic, science, english grammer, social studies, music, etc. Computer coding is for the corporatists, the vintage academics are for independence & ability to compete as children grow into adult leaders. Get these kids on the academic track for real college challenges, not softened studies that they will not be able to compete when they grow up. Teach them 'earning' an education is a worthwhile cause. Reform and military schools help teach disapline. But, the parents encouragement and neighborhood safety getting to & from school are more important.
@@appleblossomxo it’s racism in education it’s racism in the jobs after you get the education is racism in the insurance and housing you will eventually have to get for your car and in home buying it’s racism involved! We succeed in spite of systematic white supremacy! Much like a rags to riches story in China under communism!
Both democrats and Republicans are plotting to destroy black people because they are prostitutes to the federal reserve
Admit it, you were more concerned about yourself, and your party than your people.
Exactly why I say go Bernie he cares little for party line Values
Bobby Rush is a sell out.
Sorry, Democrats. But it’s far too late for that. The damage from that Bill is done.
Holy moly, someone get this a guy a wheel chair and an uber ride to the nearest convalescent home. " I apologize for what I did back when I was 95 years old"
They need to seat him down...if the Clinton's bills mess up the black people an the poor people then y u still voting for them...#feelthebern
+cebeeasy skeemask records -- Bernie Sanders VOTED FOR that bill in the Senate. Hillary was First Lady. The good thing is that BOTH of them want to make changes.
+Teammm Bernie Sanders voted for crime bill because it included a ban on assault weapons and it had the violence against women act. Not for the same reason as the Clintons who got rich of the privatising of prisons which in turn incarcerated as may people as possible to make as much money as possible.
Because Bernie voted for it and Hillary didnt
Teammm Any buffoon can search the Web and see that Hillary takes money from the private prison lobbyist. Sad that you can't even do that and attack people who point out the facts to you.
M A I voted for Hillary today in Maryland. Good luck with your choice.
He thinks her "conditioning" is in the peoples favor!? No sir, her conditioning by the billionaires club is exactly why we're in this mess.
Communities were literally burning down in 1994. Everyone wanted strict crime law. What changed the equation was the privatization of prisons - it became profitable to jail as many people for as long as possible. And the black community was easy to jail because most of them were poor and could not afford fancy lawyers. We need to stop treating drugs as a crime issue and deal with it as an addition issue. Except for the big time dealers - they can rot in jail.
Term limits, goddamit! TERM LIMITS!!!!
Love and compassion is supposed to come from your parents. The black community should foster strong families. Don’t expect love and compassion from legislators.
This is so powerful my brothers of my race were devistated.. I was saved because I was from a upper class community. This breaks my heart.
She wouldn't even publicly denounce the impacts of the bill. We made Bobby Rush think she would repeal it?
Rep. Rush is still owned. Obviously.
What a fool, this Bobby Rush dude is cooked!
WTF is this guy doing on Capitol Hill? He can barely speak for god's sake....:(
There has never been enough love and compassion in this God-forsaken world. Where is the love? It's in the coffers of the wealthy and super rich.
WE HAVE TO KEEP FIGHTING FOR FREEDOM THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF WHERE BLACK PEOPLE CONTINUE TO HOLD EACH OTHER BACK
Devastation is putting it lightly.
Ok. Now denounce the Personnel Responsibility Act too.
+Fat Kaiju Yeah like this bill ONLY affects blacks.....lmfao
+Gaming God. Stop reading stuff into the comment that aint there.
I'm only speaking to the harm the law has done. . . to Everyone!
The anchor gives the impression that the thing that divided the country about the crime bill was its effect on incarceration. Wrong. Yes, a significant number of Democrats (about a quarter of all Democrats) voted against it, but a majority of Republicans did, calling the bill "pork". That Republican opposition was the main source of division.
I understand with age comes experience...but with youth comes progress. They really need to put an age limit on congress....There is nothing wrong with retiring.
"Don't judge me by my head" Oh Please.
Denouncing it now does little to repair the damage it has done . SET THEM FREE !!!
Did that uncle Tom say he remained consistent... yeah as an uncle Tom!!
Politicians need to realize that their votes have consequences, an apology 22 years after the fact does very little to correct what was done. Everyone involved should resign and go home! Regardless of party or race!!!
That would be almost everyone. There was only 4 nays when it came to this bill. Both parties supported this bill.
Not "we," but "you" failed us
How didn't you know that generations to come would grow up without fathers. How is that beneficial to the future.
They did it on purpose, that's how.
This was painful to watch. looks like MSNBC is really having trouble finding decent guests endorsing Hillary
These men destroyed the family on purpose, children need a mother and father together!
Bernie VOTED for the Crime Bill and he should present a plan of change for that bill he supported. Not just excuses as to why he supported it like he always makes.
There were certain things that were included in the bill that bernie supported woman rights etc I'm in Canada and even I know this like pay attention and turn off the TV.

@@jeve7890 it doesn't matter, he voted for it.
mea culpa 20 years too late. would this rep wouldn't be addressing this, if it weren't beneficial to clinton's campaign.
his kin are likely getting the kick down... contracts, board seats, non profits, etc.
He is the reason so many black peoples are in jail today. Disgusting!
I just lost all respect for this man.
It pains my heart to see someone who stood alongside Fred Hampton work in favor of this system in this way. It makes me wonder if he was caught up by COINTEL PRO in those days, and this is what became of him....smh Still working
I can't believe you where a leader in the black panther party!!!!!
The real leaders were assassinated not this fool
I don't doubt this mans knowledge but why should this man be allowed to stay in Congress if he can't even talk.
+Heats1Fan He can hear, just look at his ears.
Why doesn’t Congress have term limits?!?!
Lmfao sharing this so hard Trump 2020
The Crown Heights riot was a race riot that took place from August 19 to August 21, 1991, in the Crown Heights section of Brooklyn, New York City. Black residents attacked Orthodox Jewish residents, damaged their homes, and looted businesses.?
When you don't care about society and trt to damage it...expect society to not care about and damage you!
Lock em up
It sounded like he said Killary at the 8:52-8:53 mark.
biden was talking about how good the crime bill was lastnight. ironic
I'm about to have a stroke listening to this guy...
DID JOE BIDEN VOTE FOR THIS CRIME BILL OR NAW ASKING 4 KAMALA 🤣
God bless Bobby for apologizing for having anything to do with this crime bill which hurt black people. God knows his heart and God is a forgiving God.
Not All of us Black Americans Supported the 94 Crime Bill
Big Dawg needs put on leash.
How old is this guy? He sounds like someone's Great Grandfather. Dude, retire already.

"Don't judge me by my head, judge me by my heart." STFU.

Thanks Biden
Clinton/Biden 1994 Violent Crime Control Act SB618
The fact of the Matter is that One's need to examin what the law was designed to do! What it was supposed to Ingender? And structures that we're negotiated and left out! new legislation under the Geniva convention of human Rights and American Civil Rights Legislation! Coventions! Under: Education, Employment and Housing!
but your party help Elect BIDEN LOL.
guys its simple
vote for Bernie
you think he is too extreme
but in reality he actually makes sense
BIDENS BILL
Bernie Sanders is the only candidate that truly cares about all groups of people from all walks of life. A vote for anyone else would either be for a racist or a corporatist. Folks, do what's right and vote Bernie.
Bill O'Reilly not this time
i absolutely hate how everyone keeps saying that Bernie Sanders supported that bill. the bill came in a package with other things that were good. Bernie Sanders gave a speech on the floor about the dangers of the "tough on crime bill". if he had not voted for the package, which that crime bill was in, we'd be hearing Hillary Clinton attacking Bernie for not supporting the Violence against Women Act and other things in that package.
it just makes me sick how they say Hillary supported it and Bernie supported it. it's not the same and it's misleading and dishonest.
and by the way. bills should be passed one at a time, not as packages. but they put things into packages so that things that would have no chance at getting enough votes would get it because of the others things in the package. this is how many laws that the American people don't support become laws.
+trajan hercules "Splitting", or "black and white thinking" is a possible sign of a mental disorder. You should get checked out. I'm not even joking.
But for what it is worth, here is what he actually said about it at the time:

+Victoria Reed I agree whole heartedly.
trajan hercules You didn't even bother to look at the short clip I linked did you?
He's telling the truth it was crazy crazy crazy in the 80's and the killings what's wrong with these people I have lost a lot of friends and family members because the crimes. Thanks for your sincere apologize
I'm black and the crime bill didnt hurt me. Oh yeah, I don't commit crimes.
It does to me.

@@marianforeman8865 yes i am.
