She is also far ahead of the Democrats on free speech.
DICKERSON: Joining us now is Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders. He's in Burlington. Senator Sanders, I want to start with this week's shooting. In talking to Senator Rubio, he said, "Obviously this was - the man who did the shooting is responsible for his own actions." But in the wake of that and his conversation about what leads to the heated political atmosphere, Senator Sanders- Senator Rubio pointed out that when people try to stop free speech, stop people from talking, it creates pressure in the system that might cause people to act out. What do you think of that theory?
SANDERS: I think he's right. Look. Freedom of speech, the right to dissent, the right to protest, that is what America is about. And politically every leader in this country and every American has got to stand up against any form of violence. That is unacceptable. And I certainly hope and pray that Representative Scalise has a fully recovery from the tragedy that took place this week.
DICKERSON: There's been a lot of protests on campuses when people come to speak. They've been-- People have protested and said they shouldn't be allowed to speak. Where do you come down on that in the context of this put pressure on free speech?
SANDERS: I think people have a right to speak. And you have a right if you're on a college campus not to attend. You have a right to ask hard questions about the speaker if you disagree with him or her. But what- why should we be afraid of somebody coming on a campus or anyplace else and speaking? You have a right to protest. But I don't quite understand why anybody thinks it's a good idea to deny somebody else the right to express his or her point of view.
And I think she is genuinely against identity politics. Unlike Comrade "When you are white...you don’t know what it’s like to be poor." Sanders.
Yeah, i dont think Bernie is much of an offender on that scale either. Hes certainly no Pocahontas.
