Analysis: For Warren, there is no criminal justice reform without addressing racism
Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Elizabeth Warren visits Keene State College in April. By Eugene Scott Eugene Scott Reporter covering identity politics for The Fix Email Bio Follow April 23 at 11:46 AM Criminal justice reform has drawn great interest from both sides of the political aisle for years. But few presidential candidates have mentioned what they believe to be the core issue in need of reforming.
Trump tweeted in response: “Be nice if Spike Lee could read his notes, or better yet not have to use notes at all, when doing his racist hit on your President, who has done more for African Americans than almost any other Pres!” At a CNN town hall, a student planning to go into law enforcement asked Warren if she could assure him that she would back legislation that would keep law enforcement safe. The question, as the student noted, was a response to Warren’s ongoing criticism of law enforcement and her call for criminal justice reform.
