Sanders: The More African-Americans ‘Hear Our Message,’ The Better We Will Do

‘The more the African-American community hears our message on a broken criminal justice system — ‘

SANDERS: "Well, it is a concern, Jake. But let’s remember this, four or five weeks ago if I was on your show, you would have noted that I was 25 points behind in the polls in Nevada. We ended up losing by five or six points. I believe we won the Latino vote, which is a huge, huge way forward for us. We did badly with the African-American vote. But I think the more the African-American community hears our message on a broken criminal justice system, which has more people in jail today than any other country on earth, largely African-American, Latino, when they hear our message about the need for real — for an economy that represents all of us, not just the one percent, I think you’re going to see us making progress there as well."
