Bernie Sanders Condemns Media, Attacks Trump’s Tweets on Conan
“You know how much childcare costs?”
When Silverman came out on stage, a few audience members loudly booed.
While in a debate with Hillary Clinton, Sanders had suggested that the public doesn’t care about her “damn emails”, O’Brien wondered if now that she lost if Sanders regretted absolving her of that crime. “Well his new strategy apparently is to give tax breaks to those very same companies so that they can re-hire some of the employees they laid off”, said Sanders.
Goodman, who has been covering the Native American protests at the Standing Rock Reservation, against the construction of a $3.2 billion oil pipeline that threatens the drinking water there, spoke about the violence unfolding in North Dakota.
“I bring all these issues up, things I saw in my campaign, because these are not issues that many Americans are familiar with”, Sanders said.
“Is that the entire question?” He says to the people who supported him.
He added that people won’t agree on every issue, but there is one area progressives can not compromise on: bigotry.
Sanders then slammed network news and its little coverage of income inequality and the high cost of prescription drugs in the USA due to these networks’ “vested interests”. “They have a right to breathe clean air, and to make sure that the planet we’re leaving our kids is going to be a healthy planet”. Trump should receive credit where credit is due, he added. I think he will probably not carry through on his racist, sexist policies.

SEN. BERNIE SANDERS: Home.
That’s an interesting perspective from Bernie, considering he’s talking about a president-elect who received the most votes in Republican primary history.
“Let me repeat it”, he told the Glendale crowd on Tuesday. To defend individual liberty and promote human prosperity in the era of Trump, libertarians must fight the insidious notion that the point of politics is to back the tribe’s champion.
He also cautioned that while people in the Democratic Party need to stand up against racism as well as discrimination, Democrats must also uphold progressive values such as fighting Wall Street and pharmaceutical companies. A handful of billionaires control our economic and political life.
Donald Trump received blanket coverage. “Do you wish now that you had made that more of an issue in your campaign?” “That is total and absolute nonsense”. That’s what that message was about. But what ended up-to answer your question, what happened is, before I chose to run-and the book goes into it-we went around the country.
Bernie Sanders recently reflected on Hillary Clinton’s missteps, in an extensive interview with director Spike Lee for The Guardian. In essence, United Technologies took Trump hostage and won.
