Killer Mike Releases Series Of Interviews With Bernie Sanders
Last month, Killer Mike showed his support for Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders by introducing the senator at a rally in Atlanta. You have a right, regardless of your income, to health care. “And some dignity as a result of that”.
After Killer Mike compared political apathy to a cancer patient accepting their prognosis and refusing to fight their disease, Bernie asked this poignant question.
Their discussion touched Sanders’ political beginnings, as well as the main tenets of his political platform, from socialism to minimum wage to the disproportionate distribution of wealth and the rigged economy. I got into the politics because I give a damn. “It strikes me that if you don’t take part in the political process, you’re really crapping on people who gave their lives to defend this country, WWII and elsewhere”, he said. The two even posed for Mike’s Instagram throwing up the sign for Run the Jewels (Killer Mike’s duo with El-P).
Calling the myth of college for all an “increasingly unsafe idea”, Rowe bristled at the notion “a college education is the best path for the most people” and said he was replying to “simply shine a light on the knuckleheads who continue to perpetuate this nonsense”. “You’re right, it is scary”, Sanders says of Trump’s campaign.
While Sanders is running for president as a Democrat, he was registered as an independent from 1979 to 2015. “I am going to be very frank”, he said. You are talking about a higher percentage of blacks in jail in America today than was the case under Apartheid in South Africa. Bernie Sanders is just another one of those elitist “I’m smarter than you.” types who tells people to do as they say and not as they do. Go to U.K. Everybody has health care.
At the same time, Killer Mike isn’t afraid to challenge Sanders when their viewpoints diverge. They were the fearless ones.
“I didn’t get into politics to try and figure out if I could be a President or a Senator”.
