Sanders Discounts Claim That His Plans Are ‘Revolutionary’: It Is ‘Exactly’ What Americans Want

Sen. Bernie Sanders’ (I-Vt.) is pushing back on former Vice President Joe Biden’s claim that Americans do not want a revolution.

Biden previously shared on USA Today how he believes, in regards to Sanders, with “the idea that there’s going to be this revolution — Americans aren’t looking for revolution.”

Sanders spoke to CNN with Anderson Cooper on Monday evening where he said, “I think we gotta beat Trump. I think our campaign is best suited to do that.”

When Cooper mentions that Biden had said “people aren’t looking for a revolution” but rather results, the Vermont senator responded that “ the pharmaceutical industries they can’t charge us ten times more” than other countries and “ up to the fossil fuel industry” is not “revolutionary.”

“I don’t think that’s revolutionary, I think that’s exactly what the American people want and that is exactly what we have to do,” Sanders said.

“If we stand together around an agenda that works for all of us, we can bring sweeping changes to this country, and give people faith in that the government of the United States works for them and not just the wealthy campaign contributors.”
