Bernie Sanders Sits Down With Rachel Maddow and Rips The Media For Poor Campaign Coverage
Sanders was asked how he would sell himself in the South, and he answered that the problems that people are having are the same. Rachel Maddow asked about the challenges that his campaign is facing and that African-American voters in South Carolina don’t know him well enough. Sanders said he believes that he can convince African-American voters that he is their candidate, because of his civil rights record. He said, “I think I have the economic and social justice agenda now that once we get the word out will resonate with the African-American community.”
Sanders said that he is talking about taking on the Republican governor of South Carolina who is refusing to expand Medicaid. Sanders discussed free tuition and later added that real African-American youth unemployment is 51%, and mentioned his legislative efforts with Rep. John Conyers to tackle African-American youth unemployment.
Rachel Maddow asked Sen. Sanders how he would get businesses to reinvest in the American economy. Sen. Sanders said no more huge tax breaks for large corporations who put their profits overseas, but instead will use that tax money to rebuild infrastructure and create 13 million new jobs.
Maddow asked Sanders if he overstated the impact of Keystone XL, and he took a jab at Hillary Clinton without naming her by stressing that he was opposed to Keystone from day one, and said, “We are fighting for the future of this planet, and we’ve got to be bold.” Sanders added that it was beyond his comprehension that we have a bunch of Republicans who are rejecting science to get their contributions from the Koch brothers.
Sanders nailed it. He has been strong on Keystone XL from day one, and the reason Republicans are opposing dealing with climate change is because of the dependency on Koch dollars.
Unlike Martin O’Malley, who came before him at this event, Sanders is not dodging the questions. Sen. Sanders called out the media for begging him to attack Hillary Clinton. Sanders said that unlike Republicans who attack each other in stupid and destructive ways, he and Clinton are having a substantive debate.
Sanders was asked what his dream job would be if he weren’t a politician, he said he would be president of CNN because the way the media talks about politics would immediately change.
The comments of Sanders were a scolding of the media has been a constant of his presidential campaign. Sanders doesn’t whine about media bias like Republicans, but he raises the very fair criticism that the media ignores substance. The media is obsessed with the horse race and instead of informing the American people.
The South Carolina Democratic forum is one of the best events of the year, and Bernie Sanders is shining in this format.

Bernie Sanders Now Has More Donors At This Point Than Any Other Candidate In History
Sanders said, “When we began this campaign six months ago, I’d say that 80 percent of the American people did not know who Bernie Sanders was, what I stood for. First polls that I saw had us at three percent or five percent. We have come a very, very long way. We have hundreds of thousands of volunteers in fifty states in this country. We have received more individual contributions, 750,000, than any candidate in American history at this point in the campaign.”
The number of donors is impressive by any standard, but Sen. Sanders also addressed the question that will make or break his campaign. Sanders discussed how he planned to attract the support of African-American Democrats.
Bernie Sanders is very competitive with Hillary Clinton in states where white voters dominate the primary/caucus electorate (Iowa and New Hampshire). Sen. Sanders is losing badly in the states that are more representative of the makeup of the Democratic Party as a whole. All polls show Sen. Sanders losing by large margins in South Carolina and Nevada, but for Bernie Sanders this campaign is about something bigger than winning the Democratic nomination.
To understand why it is important that Sanders has inspired over 750,000 people to donate to his campaign, one must view the Sanders campaign as a political movement. The Bernie Sanders movement isn’t going to end if he does not win the Democratic nomination. Even if he loses the Democratic primary, Bernie Sanders will return to Washington as one of the most powerful leaders in the country.
No other senator can claim to have a movement of millions of people behind them. Bernie Sanders is building a political movement that could potentially change a nation. That is why the 750,000+ donors matter, and why to understand the success of Bernie Sanders one must look beyond the polls and towards the future beyond the 2016 election.
Bernie Sanders Blows Up The Koch Publicity Tour With A Ten Megaton Truth Bomb
Transcript via MSNBC’s All In With Chris Hayes:
HAYES: That’s Charles Koch expressing his commitment to ending corporate welfare. Do you buy that, Senator?
SANDERS: Making life for people better – no doubt. Look, in 1980, Chris – and we don’t talk about this enough – David Koch ran for vice president of the United States on the libertarian party’s ticket. What his agenda was was not to cut Social Security or Medicare, but to end Social Security, end Medicare, end Medicaid, end the EPA, end the concept of the Environmental Protection Agency. Basically, he wanted to eliminate virtually every program developed since FDR designed to help working people end the middle class. That is their agenda. And to tell you the truth, you know, 30 years have come and gone. I don’t think that agenda has changed at all. What these guys are doing is spending unbelievable sums of money, from $900 million on this campaign cycle, to support right-wing candidates for going to war. Big-time against working families and the middle class. No, I do not think the Koch brothers want to make life better for ordinary people.
The idea that the Koch brothers are out to help ordinary people is laughable to anyone who follows politics, but the mainstream press is very willing to kiss the Koch ring and give the brothers a platform to redefine themselves as altruistic patriots who are looking out for the little guy.
Sen. Bernie Sanders was one of the first leaders on the left to speak out against the Koch agenda, and he absolutely destroyed the myth of the benevolent brothers Koch with a little bit of recent history. The Koch brothers want the government to have no role in anything domestic that does not involve aiding the wealthy and corporations. The Kochs’ idea of helping people involves taking away Social Security, Medicare, government regulations that protect people from environmental hazards, eliminating rules that help to keep our and water clean and safe, tax breaks for the wealthy and corporations, and rolling back every bit of progress that has been made for working Americans since the New Deal.
The Koch brothers have money, but Bernie Sanders has a movement of millions of Americans behind him.
The Koch brothers launched their publicity tour because they are losing. Sen. Sanders is beating the billionaires with the facts, and the senator from Vermont used the truth to stop the Koch publicity machine dead in its tracks.
Nancy Pelosi Picks 6 Pro-Choice Fighters For Planned Parenthood Investigative Panel
Pelosi and the Democrats came out swinging on Wednesday, by referring to the panel derisively as “the Select Committee to Attack Women’s Health”. Even without that verbal barb, Democrats made it clear they were ready for battle, as Pelosi’s list of names includes six of the strongest pro-choice advocates in the U.S. House.
Pelosi chose Illinois Congresswoman Jan Schakowsky to serve as the ranking Democrat on the committee. Schakowsky will be joined by four other Democratic women–Jackie Speier (CA), Dianna DeGette (CO), Bonnie Watson Coleman (NJ) and Suzan DelBene (WA). New York Congressman Jerrold Nadler will join the five Democratic women as the lone Democratic male representative on the panel.
In announcing her appointees, Pelosi stated:
I am proud to name six strong champions of women, families and facts to stand up against the latest Republican assault on women’s health. Hard-working families deserve better than a taxpayer-funded Republican Select Committee fixated on dismantling women’s health.Schakowksy made it clear she would fight for women’s reproductive rights, announcing:
I can assure you, my plan is to be on the offensive. . . I think the Republicans will actually regret having started this witch hunt.Rep. Jackie Speier sounded a similarly combative tone, stating:
On their first day in power as a majority in 2011, Republicans introduced H.R. 1, a bill to defund Planned Parenthood. They have introduced bills attacking women’s health with a vengeance ever since, and earlier this year they threatened to shut down the government unless we de-fund Planned Parenthood…The 6 Democrats Nancy Pelosi chose to serve on the committee are some of the strongest advocates for women’s health in the House. They will fight to uphold the truth, and Republicans may indeed end up regretting ever picking this battle to begin with.
Now they’ve set up a Select Committee with no apparent purpose but to spend millions of taxpayer dollars demonizing Planned Parenthood. We have to make sure the public gets the truth: That 2.7 million women and men a year use Planned Parenthood for health services like cancer screenings, pap smears, and STD tests, and those services save lives.
Rest assured I will fight to make sure the needs of millions of people who use Planned Parenthood and are often ignored in this ideological debate — people whose lives will be deeply affected by the outcome — will be heard.
