At a major rally in Los Angeles, Sen. Bernie Sanders warned of the 'extraordinary danger' facing the U.S. under President Trump's administration, criticizing policies favoring billionaires over the working class. This rally was part of Sanders' national 'Fight Oligarchy' tour, which aims to raise awareness of socio-economic issues. The event gathered around 36,000 supporters and featured performances by Joan Baez and Neil Young, showcasing a stark contrast to Trump's event in Miami where he felt validated by enthusiastic supporters. Both Sanders and Rep. Ocasio-Cortez highlighted the influence of corporate interests on American life.
"We are living in a moment of extraordinary danger, and how we respond to this moment will not only impact our lives but will impact the lives of our kids and future generations."
"I'm talking about how we are living today in an oligarchic form of society. These policies favor billionaire businesspeople over the working class."
"If we weren't doing a good job, we'd get the opposite." - Trump comments on his reception at the UFC event in Miami.
"Corporate interests and lobbyists have an outsize influence on modern American life, driving wealth inequality." - Rep. Ocasio-Cortez at the rally.
