A confident and smiling Bernie Sanders tells Jimmy Fallon that he “looks forward to beating Donald Trump” and comments further on Trump’s divisive rhetoric.
Asked to comment on Trump’s campaign, Bernie Sanders noted; “Throughout history, you’ve had demagogues trying to attract attention away from the real issues. This country is facing some enormous problems. We have a middle class that’s disappearing, we have almost all new wealth and income going to the one percent, we have climate change. We have a corrupt campaign finance system. And what somebody like a Trump is trying to do is to divide us up. A few months ago, we’re supposed to hate Mexicans, he thinks they’re all criminals and rapists. Now we’re supposed to hate Muslims.That kind of crap is not going to work in the United States of America.”
Sanders finished with a call for unity and an expression of faith in the American people.“I think what the American people understand is that we have to stand together and create a decent life. We’ve got to stop this scapegoating of one group or another.”
