Third-party 'spoiler' candidate Cornel West says Democratic Party is 'beyond redemption'

Third-party candidate Cornel West came out swinging against the Democratic Party and progressives within it for criticizing his candidacy during an interview.

"I think that Brother Bernie’s being consistent. He has said that all along, and I can understand the argument. I think it’s a plausible argument. I just don’t think it’s a persuasive one," West said. "I think that the argument he’s making means that there’s never any possibility for breaking from the corporate duopoly, there’s never any possibility of trying to speak to the needs of poor working people." Thomas Catenacci is a politics writer for Fox News Digital.

"I think deep down in his heart he knows that the Democratic Party has no fundamental intention of speaking to the needs of poor people and working people," he continued. "They are dominated by their corporate wing, they're dominated by the militarists when it comes to foreign policy. He and AOC and the others are going to be, in a certain sense, window dressing."
