On Friday, an estimated 34,000 people gathered in Denver for a massive rally to hear Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont and Congressmember Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York as part of their “Fighting Oligarchy” tour. It was the largest rally of either of their political careers.
Sen. Bernie Sanders: “We will not allow America to become an oligarchy. This nation was built on working people, and we’re not going to let a handful of billionaires run the government.”
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez: “Power and corruption is taking over this country like never before. And we are here, most importantly, because we know that a better world is possible.”
Other speakers at the rally included Alvaro Bedoya, the federal trade commissioner who was fired by Trump last week.
