Left-wing documentarian Michael Moore told MSNBC on Sunday that he is worried that Democratic nominee, former Vice President Joe Biden, is ignoring black voters in his home state of Michigan.
Moore said on Sunday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Weekends,” “I get calls every day from people in Michigan, ‘I can’t get a yard sign. I can’t get a yard sign’
“Yesterday, a couple of friends of mine, we got together some art, we are just going to start printing our own yard signs for Biden.”

“If we have to save the Democrats from themselves, that’s what we’ll do,” Moore added.
Moore continued, “This is a very good question to ask the Biden campaign because Hillary couldn’t get the yard signs. But Charlotte Alter points out in this TIME magazine article, there are not even field houses.
“You can’t go anywhere. There are no real Biden people on the ground in that way, in a way you would have.”
Not sure which is more pathetic.

Is Biden Repeating Hillary Clinton’s 2016 Mistakes?
Many observers have noted that Democrat Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign fell down on the job regarding minority outreach and also not campaigning harder in traditionally blue or swing states.
Moore told MSNBC, “And the way they tried to kind of fluff it off is say ‘Well, it’s the 21st century, we do everything digital now.’ Man, why would you take—why would you use Michigan as the experiment? After what happened in 2016?”

Moore To Biden: ‘Why Are You Ignoring The Black Community?’
Moore then reminded everyone of Hillary’s performance four years ago.
“When Hillary lost Michigan by only two votes per precinct, that’s all,” he said. “Why risk anything? Why are you ignoring the black community?”
“Biden has only come to Michigan once and only met —he went to two white towns, one in Macomb County and one what we call downriver Detroit,” Moore lamented.
