US Prez poll 2016: Film director Spike Lee endorses Sanders

“And that’s why I’m officially endorsing my brother Bernie Sanders”, he said.

No doubt there have been some spirited discussions in the Spike Lee household.

Blacks are the majority of likely Democratic voters in SC, where Clinton holds a commanding lead in polls.

“How can we be sure?” In fact, he’s gone so far as to record a radio commercial for Bernie to be used in the Vermont senator’s campaign in SC.

American film director Spike Lee has endorsed Bernie Sanders, the Democrat who is in race with Hillary Clinton for winning the party’s presidential nomination, asking the voters of SC to “Wake up!”, a CNN report said.

Sanders campaign officials say he plans to discuss a range of issues, including eliminating big money from politics, combating climate change and making college affordable. And I know that you know this system is rigged! He was arrested in Chicago for protesting segregation in public schools. No flipping, no flopping.

The timing of the visit is interesting in that more than a dozen states vote on Super Tuesday March 1, which precedes the contests in both Missouri and Kansas. “Enough talk. Time for action”.

Sanders most recently trailed Hillary Clinton in the Nevada caucus February 20, with 47 percent of the vote, against her win with 53 percent.

“She says their names”, Freeman says, adding later, “And makes their mothers’ fight for justice her own”.

In the ad, Lee also highlights Sanders’ reliance on small-dollar donors.

In the new spot which was released just days ahead of Saturday’s Democratic primary in South Carolina, Lee appeals voters to stop supporting “corporate puppets” who were responsible for the “Great Recession of 2008” – a culmination of corporate greed and market imperialism – the effects of which are still being felt by millions of people across America.
