Bernie Sanders endorsed by UFC’s Ronda Rousey
Luckily for Bernie Sanders, Rousey is throwing her (bantam)weight behind him for the 2016 election.
But regardless of where Rousey’s views fall on a traditional political spectrum, her own stance in favor of limiting money politics points to a larger trend – campaign finance reform is increasingly a bipartisan cause.
If he doesn’t win against Hillary, then I’ll probably vote for a third party again.
In 2012, Rousey threw her support to Roseanne Barr who ran as the Peace and Freedom Party candidate.
“I’m really pulling for Sanders this time”, Rousey says.
“I’m not the highest-paid fighter because [the sport] wanted to do something nice for the ladies”, she said in a press event in Australia in October in response to a question about that country’s equal-pay dispute. “I’m not really going to get into specifics of it, but, I mean, I don’t want a reality TV star to be running my country”, Rousey added.
Along the way to becoming the UFC’s most popular fighter, Ronda Rousey has filled her trophy case with just about every imaginable award. Then I waited for Snappers McCreepy to come home from work.
“I do not represent the agenda of the billionaire class or corporate America, and I do not want their money”, Sanders said to a crowd of 20,000 people in Boston in October.
Ronda Rousey, the mixed martial arts star, actress, and Olympic medalist, recently endorsed self-proclaimed “democratic socialist” Sen.
Lately she’s elaborated on that, though, even expressing a desire to one day hold a WWE Divas Championship.
Sanders’ next big fight also falls on Saturday, as the presidential hopeful goes head-to-head with Democratic candidates Clinton and former Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley at the CBS News primary debate at Drake University in Des Moines, Iowa.
