They've got Cornel West on $500,000 unpaid taxes, I'm afraid. I doubt it's made up and I don't think it's about refusing to pay money to the Pentagon. Not that I think running for president has anything to do with the revolutionary movement we need (or that he would have any kind of shot at a serious candidacy even without such a problem as 500K unpaid federal taxes.) It doesn't. But if you are going to try to get folks all into the electoral madness, a terrible affliction, you better not have any skeletons like that in your closet.
If there is no issue, the conservative media will make-up an issue. And part of it is delinquent child support payments from 2003. And of course the rest of the media gets in on the persiflage.
They should go somewhere and sit down. He'll probably be able to raise the money amidst the hoopla.

You're right Les, they'll always find something to create controversy about, especially regarding someone like Dr West. So let's not be distracted by the so-called liberals and some progressive mischiefmakers and trolls, trying to sideline Cornel West's candidacy. If unpaid taxes was an issue, Bill Clinton wouldn't be president..same with George Bush, Donald Trump, Joe Biden etc etc.
I've stated before, the only issues I have with Dr West is that he's too embracing and I have problems with his relationship to Black women.
