Bernie Sanders Quotes
We've got to stand with those people who are being attacked today, but at the same time, it's not good enough to say that racism and xenophobia is bad. We've got to reach those people today who are so angry, who are so hateful and say, yes, you have a right to be angry, don't take it out on the Muslims. Work with us to create an agenda and political movement that will make your life better, not just other people's life worse.
