Bernie Sanders Fiercely Rejects 1 Notion About Trump-Era Democrats: 'Have The Courage'
HuffPost
The independent senator appeared genuinely taken aback Wednesday on CNN after watching a clip featuring Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer.
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) says Democrats “need an agenda” that doesn’t just consist of slamming President Donald Trump — and is flatly rejecting the idea espoused by Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) that the party is “united” in any meaningful way.
Sanders appeared Wednesday on CNN’s “The Source With Kaitlan Collins” and, after being shown a clip of Schumer claiming one day prior that Democrats are “totally united” while the GOP is “fighting each other,” the Vermont senator appeared genuinely taken aback.
“You need an agenda!” Sanders replied. “‘United’ around what? Are we united around guaranteeing health care to all people? I’m proud, by the way, that the Democrats supported an amendment that I offered to raise the minimum wage to 17 bucks an hour.”
The progressive icon acknowledged “that’s a start,” but far from sufficient to win elections.
“Are we united in tackling a corrupt campaign finance system?” Sanders continued, adding: “How do you deal with politics in America without understanding that billionaires play an enormously destructive role in both political parties?”
