He acquited himself fine, really well even. Clearly had a plan to explain the crime bill, taking credit for the good and distancing himself from the bad.

Just contrast it with trump who openly courts white supremacy and emboldens all of his followers to enact violence against us. Withdrawaling from the policital arena is not a winning tactic for us, we need to be more involved not less. Our leaders literally risked their lives for us to have a voice and thats some shit we got to take to heart and push forward so that their sacrifices be not in vain. If we ain't getting our piece of the pie we need to go take it, only way to do that ia by being at the table.
