Bernie Sanders to Killer Mike: We’re Taking on Trump’s Idea You Can Steal and Cheat Your Way to Success
2019-08-30
[BREITBART] Sen. Bernie Sanders
...The only first openly Socialist member of the U.S. Senate. Sanders was Representative-for-Life from Vermont until moving to the Senate for the rest of his life in 2006, assuming the seat vacated by Jim Jeffords. He ran for the 2016 nomination for president, to be cheated out of it by Hillary Clinton, then went back to being a socialist, waiting for 2020 to roll around...
(I-VT) took another dive into the hip-hop world and sat down for an interview with rapper a longtime supporter Michael "Killer Mike" Render and said he’s challenging President Donald Trump
...The tack in the backside of the Democratic Party...
’s worldview of robbing, stealing, and cheating one’s way to the top.

Sen. Sanders spoke to the Atlanta-based rapper, repeating many of his long-held talking points ‐ Medicare for All and income inequality ‐ and talked about the big picture of his campaign, which he described as taking on Trump’s erroneous worldview.

"I mean what we are taking on ‐ it’s not just Trump in his policies. It’s what he thinks human life is about. And what he thinks human life is, you rob, you steal, you cheat, you step on people ‐ ah! Then you make a billion dollars," Sanders said.

"That’s his understanding of what success is in life, and you’re talking about a very, very different success," the White House hopeful said.

Prior to that, Killer Mike told Sanders what he believes "rich" really means.

"Well rich is a long life with your children. My grandparents were never rich. They raised three successful homeowners we have never had to go back to them and ask them. That’s rich. Rich is being able to spend the time with your family," the Run the Jewels rapper said, prompting Sanders to shake his hand in agreement.

"Rich not an endless pursuit of money, and I’m a rapper right? I got a chain on and a Rolex," he added.

"You know what I’ve been trying to say that for several years and this guy just did it a lot better than I did," Sanders said.

#7  To be a good communist, you must be willing to commit armed robbery and, if the victim resists then...well, you know. I mean, that's how redistribution works. If your conscience bothers you, just remember how Bernie said the bourgeoisie stole it from somebody else.

#5  Surreal.
A warmed-over Castro admirer speaks with a moronic thug entertainer about scamming and stealing ones way to a fortune...
Clue for Bernie: can you guess how many billions the Castro family has stolen from their countrymen?
Does this fool have any idea how outlandish he is?

Not surprising - this is what Bernie thinks capitalism is.
