A thread debunking false rumors about Howie Hawkins being spread in the Twitterverse:
1. He fully supports Julian Assange and is the only candidate who has called for his release by name.
1. He fully supports Julian Assange and is the only candidate who has called for his release by name.
2. He is not a Russiagater.
He has specifically said there's no evidence to prove the claims.
He did say there was likely an intent to collude, but that is arguable at worst.
His position is to the left of Bernie's on this.

3. Yes, he dead-named Chelsea Manning without understanding. He was called out for it, and now he understands. In the process of learning about her struggles, he's become her ally.
4. He did not rig the Green Party primary.
This is a false allegation made by Dario Hunter who joined the party to run for President, barely campaigned, smeared the Party & is now in another party.
There's no evidence of any rigging. Howie legitimately won as the best candidate

5. Howie is not perfect, but he's a good person with a lifetime of advocacy for progressives values and working class Americans.
6. Like Bernie, he's even been arrested for fighting for your rights.
7. As a bonus, Howie Hawkins has never been a Democrat.
In fact, he rejected the Democratic Party in 1964 because they had refused to allow a group of Black Democrats from Mississippi to be seated at the party's convention.

8. His running mate Angela Walker is absolutely amazing, which shows his good judgment, unlike the other candidates whose running mates are questionable.
