. . . "In a desperate attempt at winning over black voters in South Carolina, Bernie Sanders turned to Dalhi Myers and made the politician into the star of his ad campaign.
"Myers' switch from supporting Biden to backing the socialist Castro fan caught the attention of the media.
COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — A South Carolina elected official who endorsed Joe Biden last month is switching her allegiance to Bernie Sanders in the state’s first-in-the-South presidential primary, saying she had viewed the former vice president — whose support in the state is considered deep — as “a compromise choice.”
“In December, Myers, a corporate lawyer in Columbia, was among more than a dozen South Carolina elected officials to endorse Biden, saying at the time in a release from the Biden campaign that he was “the only candidate with the broad and diverse coalition of support we need to win” against Trump in the general election. Initially, Myers said she backed Biden because she saw him as a candidate who could possibly appeal to Republican voters disenfranchised by the president.
"Myers was not an honest politician and didn't stay bought.
Describing Sanders as "unafraid" and "unapologetic," Myers said she liked "the fact that he is willing to fight for a better America—for the least, the fallen, the left behind." . . .
