Sanders said Democrats will not help Trump expand bigotry, racism, sexism or xenophobia.

“At the end of the day, my candidacy ended up being helpful to her – if we believe candidates should not be anointed”, Sanders said. Many have endorsed Rep. Keith Ellison, the first Muslim member of Congress and an early Sanders backer, for Democratic National Committee chairman.

“If Mr. Trump has the guts to stand up to those corporations, he will have an ally with me”, Sanders said, adding he doubted the president-elect would actually do so.

Sen. Bernie Sanders called for the ouster of Steve Bannon, calling him a “racist individual” who is not worthy of a top role in the White House.

“The Democratic Party can not continue to be run by the liberal elite”.

The senator, whose new book, “Our Revolution”, is available on Tuesday, told Colbert that he is pushing for “structural changes” in his party to make it more “grassroots”.

‘The evidence is pretty clear that when you lose the White House in a campaign against a gentleman who I believe will bend the White House as the last popular candidate in the history of this country, ‘ Sanders began.

On Thursday night, Mr Trump took credit for Ford’s decision not to move production of the Lincoln MKC 4×4 from Louisville, Kentucky, to Cuautitlan, Mexico.

The Vermont senator said Democrats need to understand that Trump won because people are desperate and in “despair” – not because they harbor racist sentiments.

“Financial deregulation, brought about during the Clinton administration, which allowed commercial banks and investment banks and large insurance companies to merge, created the pathway forward to the collapse of 2008”, Sanders said.

Democrats have focused too much on raising incredible sums of money from wealthy people, and have largely ignored working families, Sanders said Sunday (13 November).

Sanders says the appointment is “totally unacceptable”. He listed the promises to invest a trillion dollars in infrastructure, to raise the minimum wage to $10 an hour and six weeks of paid maternity leave among other things that he plans to hold Mr. Trump accountable to.
