In State Fair visit, Bernie Sanders criticizes Trump and advocates economic equality

U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders told a crowd at the Minnesota State Fair on Saturday that there are two reasons he’s running for president: 1) President Donald Trump is “dangerous” and must be defeated and 2) to promote economic equality.

“This country cannot continue to have a president who is a pathological liar; who conducts public policy via tweet; who is a racist, a sexist, a homophobe, and a xenophobe and a religious bigot,” he said.

This was the first time Sanders, 77, has brought his 2020 Democratic presidential campaign to Minnesota. The Vermont senator spoke Saturday from the Minnesota Public Radio building. He defeated Hillary Clinton in Minnesota’s 2016 Democratic caucuses and has thousands of volunteers in the state.

MPR News host Tom Crann had planned a casual Q&A, but the feisty senator often co-opted the interview, standing and stumping for his top issues — climate change, free college tuition and expanded Medicare.

So to me government imposed equality would either require that two of his houses are taken from him by the government or that I’m given two houses by the government.

A man who has millions in his pocket who goes to a state fair bemoaning financial inequality, yet does not do so much as buy a single hot fog for others is a Con artist.

They had counted every single time Trump said “No Russia Collusion” as another “lie”.

I guess they need to subtract several thousand from their count.
