Sanders: Trump Takes Anger on Economy, Converts It into Anger Against Muslims and Mexicans

‘What Trump has done, with some success, is taken that anger, taken that — those fears, which are legitimate, and converted them to be into anger against Mexicans, anger against Muslims’

SANDERS: "Well, not really, John. Everybody is concerned about the disappearing middle class or the fact that we have 47 million people living in poverty, that we’re the only major country on Earth that doesn’t provide paid family and medical leave or guaranteed health care to all people. People are very worried about how they’re going to retire with dignity. And that’s why I believe we need to expand Social Security benefits. Those are the issues that are on most working people’s minds. And what I’m suggesting is that what Trump has done, with some success, is taken that anger, taken that — those fears, which are legitimate, and converted them to be into anger against Mexicans, anger against Muslims."
