In tonight’s presidential debate the President said the “Portland Sheriff” supports him. As the Multnomah County Sheriff I have never supported Donald Trump and will never support him.

'Stand back': to take a few steps backwards

'Stand by': to be or to get ready to act

’Will you shut up, man?’: Biden admonishes Trump for interrupting him and moderator Chris Wallace

Wallace had said, “Sir, please let the vice president speak... Please.”

Tonight the president of the United States...
* Refused to tell his supporters to refrain from violence if he loses
* Refused to say humans cause climate change
* Refused to condemn white supremacists

Beyond reprehensible. An absolute disgrace.

[Karen Attiah @KarenAttiah]

This whole debate is a national embarrassment

[Black Lives Matter (BLM) @Blklivesmatter]

Tonight’s debate made something clear. We have to do more than vote. We need to organize. We need to keep fighting so we can win.

Get out the vote y’all! Vote down ballot. And make sure you are an informed voter! #Debates2020

[The Hill @thehill]

Chris Wallace: "Do you support the #BlackLivesMatter call for community control of policing?"

Joe Biden: "Look, what I support is the police having the opportunity to deal with the problems they face. And I'm totally opposed to defunding the police officers."

President Trump said he banned racial sensitivity training for federal workers and contractors earlier this month "because it’s racist."

It's not racist. Experts decried the move, saying Trump is whitewashing racism in America’s history. #Debates2020

Trump claimed tonight that the Portland sheriff endorsed him. The sheriff just shot back: "I have never supported Donald Trump and will never support him." #Debates2020

Look everybody. This debate is as bad as you think.

The president’s performance is designed to promote cynicism and despair. Don’t succumb to it.

If you’re watching, translate whatever emotion you’re feeling to action and organize like your life depends on it.

[Kamala Harris @KamalaHarris]

Trump has inflamed the racial divides in our country these past four years. But getting Trump out of office won’t be enough. @JoeBiden and I have a plan to root out systemic racism across our laws and institutions—in everything from policing to housing.

[Joe Biden @JoeBiden]

The American people deserve to have a say in who the Supreme Court nominee is.

[Bend the Arc: Jewish Action @jewishaction]

In 2018, over 150,000 Jews & allies signed a petition from Pittsburgh Jewish leaders demanding Trump condemn white supremacy.

He refused to do it then. He refused to do it now.

He supports it. He enables it. It’s the GOP platform. #Debate2020

[Kamala Harris @KamalaHarris]

This is inexcusable. Keeping incarcerated individuals locked up in freezing temperatures without heat and power is inhumane. Prison officials in charge need to be held accountable.

It’s gotten dark outside of MDC Brooklyn Detention Center and it’s evident there’s no electricity. People are waving flashlights out of dark windows. #UntilThereIsHeat

[Don’t Boo…Revolt! @BreeNewsome]

If anything, folks were more overt and open with their racism in the past & it wasn't because they were ignorant of what racism is, they were simply comfortable & bold with it. They said "go back to Africa" with their chests. What's new is colorblind racism & revisionist history

[Malcolm Nance @MalcolmNance]

#Kavanaugh visible arrogance, unchecked public rage and haughty sense of entitlement is disgraceful. This great nation deserves a sober considered judge who checks his own ambition. His hatred of Democrats is papable & personal - like Trump. He will destroy the #SupremeCourt

[Be A King @BerniceKing]

“Boys will be boys” expresses such a low, poor standard and is a contemptible excuse for power-flexing violence and misogyny. Humanity deserves better.

Watch whiteness work. #KavanaughHearings

[Keith Boykin @keithboykin]

Dr. Christine Blasey Ford should be on the Supreme Court and Brett Kavanaugh should be in therapy.
