Bernie Sanders During MLK Celebration — Our President Is Racist

In plain words, the Independent Senator said “today we talk about justice and today we talk about racism. And I must tell you, it gives me no pleasure to tell you that we now have a president of the United States who is a racist.”

This echoes similar statements Sanders made in November of 2018 during a speech to the National Action Network, a nonprofit group founded by Rev. Al Sharpton. Then, Sanders said “But we must be honest and straight-forward and say that we have a president who is a racist, a president who is a sexist. A president who is a homophobe. A president who is a xenophobe and a president who is a religious bigot. And it gives me no joy to tell you that.”
