A coward should not say black power doesn't even make sense

[careyivery]

I now know how the ancestors felt about the House Ninjas. Just treacherous.

[tonycar]

Bye bye Issac Bryan, you will not be missed!!!

[reginava]

He is doing the political dance. Talking but not saying anything.

[edwardcochranl]

The reasons he is giving is why they have to go.

[ksreloaded]

We're voting all of you out. You're not fooling anybody with these excuses. Bye!

[problactive]

I dont accept apologies, I only accept checks

[Bbbbkb]

Respectfully she’s not getting into the things 😂 he’s giving a bunch of word salad who cares if the bills are popular or not, or if blk immigrants like the bills or not… none of these ppl would even be in this country making a living if not for the struggles of blk Americans

[BryceLemon]

A republican introduced the bill to the floor TWICE and NOT ONE of you seconded. No use of lying. You’re done.

[michaels]

Dangling fake carrots so we vote democrat.

[monekibapearson]

"Get those flat black immigrants out of Foundational Black American business period."

[dorisjones]

I'm voting them all OUT. The so called black caucus is bye bye.

[somechicknamedstarr]

04:06 Respectfully, you will NOT be voted back, sir

[woodup]

I think issac shouldn't of did this interview, you did nothing in Sacramento or this interview. WE WILL GET OUR REPARATIONS ✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾

[tonywhite]

They want to add none freedman to the bill such as tether/black immigrants.

[malcsteezbst]

Too late. The damage is already done 🙄

[kevwatkins]

That Republican made the Democrats look extremely weak so he won this round I can't find a black man that's Democrat in my circle

[HermanJones-ou]

Who do you have to replace even one of these legislators? Name one person who wants to do this work, knows how it goes and won’t get their asses handed to them in the election, let alone Sacramento. I’ll wait.

[soufend]

He had a chance to do something historical for FBA's in California.

Instead, he fell in line with the Democrat plantation.

Get him outta office ASAP.
