EXCERPT:
SANDERS: "Oh, absolutely. Look, Joe Biden is a friend of mine. I have been proud to work with him on an agenda which has been very strongly in favor of the working class. Biden promised to be the most progressive president since FDR. In many ways, on domestic issues, I think he kept his word. But here is the reality. The working class of this country is angry, and they have a reason to be angry. We are living in an economy today, Dana, where the people on top are doing phenomenally well, while 60 percent of our people are living paycheck to paycheck, 25 percent of elderly people are trying to get by on $15,000 a year or less. We have the highest rate of childhood poverty of almost any major country on Earth, and parents all over this country worry that their kids may have a lower standard of living than they do. That is the economic reality. And what Donald Trump did is provided an explanation. He went around. He said, 'I know you're angry, and the reason is that zillions of illegal immigrants are coming over, and they're eating your cats and dogs and everything else. That's the reason.' Well, obviously, that is not the reason. The reason is, in my view, that we have an unprecedented level of corporate greed today, more income and wealth inequality, and people on top want it all.”
