The Vermont senator's wife said elite figures from both political parties are afraid of her husband's policies promoting affordable health care and education, noting that the U.S. 'already has socialism' -- but only for corporations.
Saturday the"powers-that-be" in America are placing a shallow focus on her husband's"Democratic socialist" label instead of what they're really attacking -- his campaign policies. Jane Sanders said"corporate socialism" has benefited billionaires like President Donald Trump and Michael Bloomberg, while hard-working U.S. taxpayers end up paying for their business subsidies and bailouts.
"I think it's pretty obvious, [Bernie Sanders is] running a campaign that is 'not me, us' that's about about getting the working class a fair shake and being able to provide Medicare-for-all, affordable health care, affordable education and a Green New Deal. There are the powers-that-be and the status quo that don't want him to do those things," she said.
"Everyone is talking about the label - we have 'socialism' right now but it's not 'Democratic socialism,' it's called 'corporate socialism,'" Sanders replied. "We want people to be less stressed about having health care and being able to afford health care or at-home care for their elderly parents," she continued."It's which side are you on and I think that's clear to everyone who knows him is that Bernie is honestly and consistently on the side of the working class."
"I like him. And I think a lot of people like him. I'm not here to talk about Hillary Clinton," she replied succinctly.
