Philosopher and activist Cornel West has praised 2020 Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders, comparing him to Martin Luther King, and saluted Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez as a “sister.”
In February, Sanders announced his second bid for the presidency. The independent senator of Vermont, who vied with Hillary Clinton in the 2016 presidential primaries for the Democratic nomination, has placed his new campaign in direct opposition to President Donald Trump. Sanders, whose previous campaign has given him instant name recognition in a crowded Democratic field, is still perceived as unappealing to black voters. In the 2016 primaries Clinton won 86 percent of the black vote in South Carolina with Sanders taking only 14 percent.
“I would just tell my brothers and sisters, but especially my chocolate ones that they shouldn’t be blinded by certain kinds of words they’re looking for, that in the end, he is a long distance runner in the struggle against white supremacy,” he added.
🤔🤔🤔🤔⁉️🤫
yes but he has been crazy for a while.
Somebody tell Cornell he can move out of the 1960s. We heard it all 50 years ago and he hasn’t updated his message. He is not a progressive. He is a regressive. Please join us in the 21st Century, Cornell. I feel guilty he has never moved on from that mentality.
Corner west is an Idiot's. How the heck comparing apples and oranges the same. Don't ever compare Martin Luther king with this people.
You see, this nonsense is why I could never support Bernie Sanders. Now they're dragging out Cornel West to compare this loser to MLK. What an insult.
This dude
