Senator Bernie Sanders, I-VT.
“I am trying to make people from all over the world and throughout our own country, that the American people are not going to sit inexpatiently and allow Trump [to] Establish an oligarchic form of government where Musk and other billionaires direct our government, “Sanders said in an exclusive interview with the” This Week “Jonathan Karl co-presser during the Denver de la Tour stop.
“We are not going to sit and allow him to form an authoritarian form of society, undermining the Constitution, freedom of expression, freedom of assembly and undoing what you know, what the founding parents of this country did in the 1790s, separation of powers, making sure that no person had an extraordinary amount of power, and that is precisely what Trump is trying to do, he added.
The “Fighting Oligarchy” tour of Sanders, which is carrying out along with the representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, DN.Y., is making stops in the right and left inclination districts. The demonstrations have attracted thousands of people, but Denver’s appearance brought the largest crowds so far, with 32,000 attendees. Sanders said it was the largest demonstration he has received, bigger than the demonstrations in his two presidential careers.
Here are additional outstanding aspects of the Sanders interview:
About the government becoming an oligarchy
Sanders has warned for years of the dangers that billionaires have influence in the government. When these dangers have changed, Sanders replied: “I think anyone who is not silly, deaf or blind is seeing precisely what is happening: Trump’s inaugural Billonada, for the people.
About the democratic response to Trump
Karl: So we are about 60 days after Trump’s era, Trump’s second era. How would the Democratic Party response qualify?
Sanders: “Well, it would take me back even two years before that, before Trump was chosen, and saying that he saddens me that when the Democrats had control of the Senate, they did practically anything for the workers. I have to say that I am a member of the democratic caucus as independent, so I am not going to lie to you and tell you and tell you that the Democrats have been effective in the people of the United States in the United States Stopchy, the United States movement in the town of Stop in the people of Stopchy’s Moving.

On how Democrats can stop the republican agenda
Karl: Then, realistically, Republicans control the camera. They control the White House. They control the Senate. So what, realistically, can be done?
Sanders: Well, for important legislation, you still need 60 votes in the Senate. And let’s be clear, and we, we have chosen many of the places I have gone in Wisconsin, in Iowa, in Michigan, we have, we, we carefully choose them. Those [districts] They have Republican congressmen who won by small margins. At this time, I don’t know what the number is. I think that if two or three Republicans of 200 and whatever, 18 or what they have, choose not to support taxpayers to billionaires and reduce education and education, we can defeat this great project of supplementary law, the beautiful bill that Trump wants to see. “
About criticizing the Democratic Party
Karl: You said that the approval of this bill, continuous resolution, was an “absolute failure of democratic leadership.” Who are you talking about?
Sanders: Good, [Sen. Chuck] Schumer is the party leader, and should not have happened, point. There is no doubt about it … But the final result is not just Chuck Schumer. It’s not just Chuck Schumer. It is, you have a general Democratic party that is dominated by billionaires, as is the Republican party, which … operates under the leadership of a group of consultants inside the belt, very well paid, which are out of contact with the 32,000 people who are here today. “
In the representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
When Karl began to ask that Ocasio-Cortez is the future of the progressive Caucus, Sanders intervened, saying: “We have one of the unlocked stories … of what is happening in current American politics, is that in the House of Representatives, you have dozens and dozens of strong, disciplined, disciplined and young people in the progress in progress, and, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when They are the ones that doubt me, what is coming, what is coming, what is coming, what is coming, the first, what is coming, what is coming, the first, what comes, what comes, what comes, what is coming, what is coming, what comes, what is coming, what comes, is what is coming.
