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.
2. He is not a Russiagater.

He has specifically said there& #39;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& #39;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& #39;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& #39;s no evidence of any rigging. Howie legitimately won as the best candidate
5. Howie is not perfect, but he& #39;s a good person with a lifetime of advocacy for progressives values and working class Americans.
6. Like Bernie, he& #39;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& #39;s convention.

8. Don& #39;t believe the smears. Get to know Howie yourself. He& #39;s very accessible on social media.

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