Appearing on CNN’s “State of the Union” with Jake Tapper, Vermont senator Bernie Sanders told the host that “unarmed black people” getting ”dragged out of cars” or getting shot “is happening too often.”

Sanders said this after Tapper showed him video of Ron Hickman, the sheriff of Harris County, Texas, responding to the murder of a deputy sheriff at a gas station, declaring, “This rhetoric has gotten out of control. We have heard black lives matter, all lives matter. Well, cops’ lives matter, too. So why don’t we just drop the qualifier and just say lives matter and take that to the bank?”

I saw the comments he made. Sanders: ..... “we end this absurdity in America of having more people in jail than any other major country on earth, including China.”

Maybe we should change the subject only slightly & have Bernie comment on this regarding all the people in jail in America .....

**28% percent of all federal prison inmates are illegal aliens.

**The illegal aliens in the United States have a crime rate that’s two and a half times that of white non-illegal aliens. In particular, their children, are going to make a huge additional crime problem in the US.

**The dark side of illegal immigration: Nearly one million sex crimes are committed by illegal immigrants in the United States!

**$3 Million Dollars ‘PER DAY’ is spent to incarcerate illegal aliens. That’s $1.2 Billion a year.

VERSUS .... let’s see those HORRIBLE statistics .... all those unarmed black people gettting dragged out of cars or getting shot ......

**652 people have been shot dead by police so far this year; 24 were black and unarmed.

B.S. needs to do his homework.
