she said she wouldn't participate, then the dumbass organization that gave Trump the award was booted from the event, and the event was opened to all students at the HBCU.

You obviously have a very different definition of "chickened out".

Accepting the invitation, and appearing, would have been endorsing the message, and pandering.

Kind of like doing a Fox News Town Hall.

Cory Booker of New Jersey, Bernie Sanders of Vermont, Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota and Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts."

YESTERDAY: Sponsor of forum gives Trump an award for his "work" on CJR, excludes HBCU students from event.

LAST NIGHT: Kamala says she won't be a part of papering over Trump's record, wants HBCU students included.

TODAY: Sponsor is dropped, event now open to public.

Results.
