Bernie Sanders told striking telecommunications workers in Kentucky they're an example for workers across the country because they stood up to their company
Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders on Sunday branded Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell as an obstructionist for blocking Democratic efforts to reduce gun violence, bolster election security and raise the federal minimum wage.
But in Sanders' hard-hitting speech, Trump briefly took a back seat to the longtime Kentucky senator. Sanders touted Democratic measures to raise the federal minimum wage for the first time in a decade, to $15 an hour, to enhance gun safety laws and to beef up protection for election systems from outside interference.
Three weeks after mass shootings in Texas and Ohio, Sanders urged McConnell to"listen to what the American people want" and not allow the National Rifle Association"to dictate gun policy in this country." Ahead of Sanders' visit to Kentucky, McConnell's office referred to a recent op-ed by the senator that denounced the agenda of progressives. The Republican leader referred to the Green New Deal — the sweeping Democratic proposal to combat climate change — and"Medicare for All" as"job-killing" and"dangerous" ideas.
