We can add @AndreaForAG to that list. Using Black and brown voters isn't exclusive to none Black and brown people. Tyre Nichols wasn't killed by white folks, it was his own Black people who killed him. No one gets a Black pass in 2023. #BOSpoli #MApoli https://twitter.com/NotoriousVOG/status/1622117595045322753
