There have been few more eloquent supporters of Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders’ drive for the Democratic presidential nomination than former Labor Secretary Robert Reich, who is precisely on the same page as Sanders when it comes to income inequality and the oppressive influence of money in politics in the U.S.
There’s no denying what kind of people support Donald Trump, so it’s time to start calling them what they are: Racists. But still, there seems to be so few in the media willing to tell it like it is.
