Socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders eviscerated former Vice President Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign over the weekend, saying her advisers were overly cozy with the rich and failed to champion a strong, specific working-class agenda.
During an interview on CNN’s “State of the Union,” host Dana Bash played a clip of Sanders telling an audience in West Virginia: “One of the reasons, in my view, that Kamala Harris lost the election is, she had too many billionaires telling her not to speak up for the working class of this country.”
“I like Kamala. She’s a friend of mine,” the 83-year-old told co-host Dana Bash, “but her core consultants were heavily influenced by very wealthy people.
“How do you run for president and not develop a strong agenda which speaks to the economic crises facing working families?” Sanders went on.
