Sanders: Diversity Is a Very Big Word, Having a Cabinet that Fights for Working People Is More Important

EXCERPT:

SANDERS: "To me, diversity is a very big word, in the sense that you certainly want a cabinet to look like America in terms of representation for African-Americans and Latinos, and every other group in America. You know, when people turn on the TV and they see that cabinet room, they should say, 'Hey, that looks like me,' and that’s right. But equally important or more important is having a cabinet that stands up and fights for working people at a time when wages have been stagnant for 45 years, at a time when 92 million Americans have no health insurance or are underinsured, at a time when working class kids can’t afford to go to college and people are working for starvation wages and we’ve got to deal with climate change. So I want diversity in the cabinet, I want it to look like America, but I also want it to be a cabinet that has the guts to take on powerful special interests and fight for working families."
