Nice to read thoughtful comments instead of the usual reactive crap too many people post.
My interpretation is that the reporter was trying to set up a guilt-by-association gotcha, and it got deflected by the denial. That denial may or not have been entirely truthful. I mean, I know who Piker is, and I’m a septuagenarian code pig with a passing interest in politics.
Nixon won because she successfully organized local, black communities in Florida. Her popularity didn’t come from association with national figures or politician but local ground work and Florida’s disenfranchisement campaign of its black citizens.
So for once Piker with his “young men” demographic just didn’t matter.
He’s a fan of hers as she’s anti-Israel and a DSA member, but that’s about it. CBS was completely off base on this one.

Omg tell me about it; I was called an AI the other day just because I used paragraph breaks and proper grammar
