Warren, Sanders Get Personal With Young, Black Christians
WMAQ-TV ^ | August 17, 2019 | Bill Barrow, The Associated Press

Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren are looking for ways to narrow the gap with Biden, who remains atop primary polls partly because of his standing with older black voters

Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren framed their Democratic presidential bids in personal, faith-based terms Saturday before black millennial Christians who could help determine which candidate becomes the leading progressive alternative to former Vice President Joe Biden.

Sanders, the Vermont senator whose struggles with black voters helped cost him the 2016 nomination, told the Young Leaders Conference that his family history shapes his approach to President Donald Trump's rhetoric and the rise of white nationalism in the United States.

"I'm Jewish. My family came from Poland. My father's whole family was wiped out by Hitler and his white nationalism," Sanders said at the forum led by the Black Church PAC, a political action committee formed by prominent black pastors.

The party of big government, limited personal freedom, tyranny, collectivism, and ultimately mass murder is accusing Trump of being like Hitler because of the completely bogus “white nationalism” charge.

The D’s just get sicker and sicker and sicker. This is a new low for them.

“I’m Jewish. My family came from Poland. My father’s whole family was wiped out by Hitler and his white nationalism,” Sanders said...

it’s BEYOND DISGUSTING that he would use the holocaust to further his goals.

What an EGREGIOUS INSULT TO ALL WHO DIED IN THE CAMPS!!

I guess Hitler's leftwing socialism & Anti-Semitism had nothing to do with wiping out the Jews.

They can’t win elections without scaring blacks and there is nothing new about this.

Yeah Bernie’s parents came from Poland which lived under Soviet Communist socialist oppression which is exactly what Bernie is supporting. Luckily they escaped and Poland had a revolution after which they imprisoned socialists like Bernie.

Imagine talking about Hitler and antisemitism when you are in a party which now has Muslim anti-Semites as its leading radical members.

There’s just something amusing about the two whitest people in America pandering to blacks.

I hope there is video of their “I ain’t no ways tard but I gots hot sauce” moments.

This lying Marxist. Hitler believed in pure Germanic blood and socialism. He attacked Poland, Russia and the rest of Europe - mostly white. How does that make him a ‘white nationalist’? Hitler stated capitalism was the enemy of the German people. It was the National Socialist German Workers Party you imbecile Marxist pos Sanders.

Is Bernie now claiming to be a "Person of Colour?"

Someone should fact check this because it may be bullsh*t.

i see that the Dems are swinging into full gear with their old tricks of identity group pandering, with different panders for each different group ... we didn’t see much pandering to blacks in Iowa ‘cause there weren’t many, but heck, now that they’re in Georgia, suddenly the Dem scum are best buddies with all of those southern blacks ...

THAT is exactly the kind of insincere crap that voters are sick to death of, and THAT is why Trump is so popular: he say’s the same damn thing to everyone, regardless of what group he’s speaking in front of ... Trump has exactly ONE message for everyone, not a different message for each one, unlike normal lying politicians, particularly Dem politicians ...

fortunately, the personalized pander is becoming more and more difficult to pull off due to the plethora of Internet news sources exposing what these lying hypocrites are up to ... and hopefully, enough people of all stripes, races, colors, genders, and ethnicities are paying enough attention to see through the Dems pandering bullshit ...

When I lived in Iowa (half of my life) one of our employees at the unemployment office was almost always on jury duty due to her being black and not having a criminal record. A rare bird indeed.

I didn’t even think of that aspect.

I am still not sure of what a “white nationalist” is so I don’t know what their mantra is.

I’ve never met a “white nationalist”.

I know of no country called “White”.

Boy that would be a HORRIBLE thing to lie about.

But you’re right. Someone should check it.

Uh, it was Socialism....same crap you’re into Bernie. If you’re so dam ashamed of your white race honky, why not let a brother like Booker take over? Just as incompetent and bigoted as you, but closeted gay and mochca colored.

I was always under the impression that most Jews, especially European Jews, were and are white. I guess the fact they weren’t white made them easier for the National Socialist to round up.
