Sanders Storms Southern States
(America)
Democratic presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders spoke against police brutality on Sunday in Dallas, one day after he was confronted by “Black Lives Matter” protesters at a progressive activists conference.
“We want a nation where a young black man or woman can walk down the street without worrying about being falsely arrested, beaten or killed,” Sanders told more than 8,000 people who packed a Sheraton Hotel ballroom.
“The reason I’m in Dallas today is because I do know that this state is controlled by Republicans and I’m here today to change that,” Sanders said. “We’ve got to fight [Republicans] in 50 states, including Texas. I am here to say that when childhood poverty in Texas is 26 percent, we’ve got to take them on. When over 17 percent of the people in Texas are living in poverty, we’ve got to take them on.”
"The reason I am here today is that I do know that this state is controlled by Republicans and I'm here with you to change that,” Sanders stated.
Sanders hammered what he called the growing wealth inequality in America and policies that have led to a shrinking middle class.
