Senator Bernie Sanders announced to a Black Church PAC Presidential Forum in Atlanta this week that, if elected, his administration “go to war against white nationalism and racism.”
“When we combat white nationalism and when we combat racism,” Sanders told the crowd. “We are gonna use all of the laws in our power, including executive orders in every area, to make certain that we end the discrimination which now exists in healthcare, where black women are dying three times the rate of white women when they give birth.”
Referring to white nationalism as “domestic terrorism”, Sanders also said that “Too many people have fought over the years, too many people have died against racism to allow it to resurface and flourish in America. We will go to war against white nationalism and racism in every aspect of our lives.”
