Sanders Calls Trump a “Demagogue” in Nevada Address

HeadlineDec 29, 2015

Democratic candidate and Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders took aim at Donald Trump during a campaign rally in Nevada Monday. Speaking before thousands, Sanders called Trump a demagogue.

Sen. Bernie Sanders: “There are people out there—Donald Trump and others—who are attempting to do what demagogues have always done. And that is, instead of bringing people together to address and solve the real problems that we face, what they try to do is tap the anger and the frustration that people are feeling and then divide us up. So we have a message to Trump and all the others out there who want to divide us up: No, we’re not going to hate Latinos, we’re not going to hate Muslims, we are going to stand together.”
