CBS "Face the Nation" interviews during 2017: on Civil Rights


Bernie Sanders: Women's March: never again second-class citizens

Q: The president responded to the protesters who were marching yesterday against him [in nationwide "Women's March" rallies] and said basically "the election is over, why didn't you vote in the election?" It doesn't sound like he is listening to those voices.

SANDERS: Well, I have the feeling the vast majority of the people who protested did vote. Mr. Trump lost the popular vote by almost three million votes. But I think the point yesterday, at rallies all over this country, all over the world, what people were saying to Mr. Trump, women are not going backward. They are not going to become second-class citizens. Listen to the needs of women. Listen to the needs of the immigrant community. Listen to the needs of workers. Listen to what is going on with regard to climate change. Modify your positions. Let's work together to try to save this planet and protect the middle class.
