Bernie Sanders on Whether Dems Went Too Far on Identity Politics: We ‘Must Continue to Stand Up Against All Forms of Bigotry’

EXCERPT:

SANDERS: "Let me answer it this way. I think you — if the Democratic — the Democratic Party must continue to stand up against all forms of bigotry, and Democrats should hold their head high in saying we led the fight for women’s rights and to protect the woman’s constitutional right for abortion. We led the fight for civil rights, for gay rights. This is something we should be proud of. But it’s not either/or, Kristen. This is the problem. You can do both. You can say that, 'I’m for raising the minimum wage to a living wage, guaranteed health care for all people, expanding Social Security, and, by the way, I also support a woman’s right to control her own body, et cetera.' It’s not either/or. It’s going forward in both directions."
