Sanders at Brooklyn College: ‘We Must Stand Together, This Country Belongs to All of Us’

‘We must never allow demagogues to divide us up’

EXCERPT:

SANDERS: "While my father emigrated to the United States and escaped Hitler and the holocaust, many in his family did not. For that, racism, right wing extremism and ultranationalism were not political issues. They were issues of life and death, and some of them died horrific deaths. From that experience, what was indelibly stamped on my mind was the understanding that we must never allow demagogues to divide us up by race, by religion, by national origin, by gender or by sexual orientation. Blacks and whites, Latino, Asian American, Native American, Christian, Jew, Muslim and every religion, straight or gay, male or female, we must stand together. This country belongs to all of us."
