Politicus USA has the article Bernie Sanders Annihilates Scott Walker At Record Setting Madison Rally.
Sanders responded to Wisconsin Republicans who called him an extremist, “Let me just say a few words to my friends in the Republican Party about extremism. When you deny the right of workers to come together in collective bargaining that’s extremism. When you tell a woman that she can not control her own body, that’s extremism. When you think a woman is a child and can’t purchase a contraceptive, that is extremism. When you give tax breaks to billionaires and refuse to raise the minimum wage, that’s extremism.”
Bernie Sanders might have been talking about Republicans in general, but he was specifically detailing the record of Scott Walker.
Seeing pictures of the crowd is one thing, but hearing them adds a whole other dimension.
Even Politicus USA can’t give up the “unlikely” meme, although in a slightly different nuance than NBC news.
If Bernie Sanders is Batman, Scott Walker is the Joker, and the unlikely 73-year-old superhero had all of Gotham behind him tonight in Wisconsin.
The one thing to note is that Bernie Sanders does not shy away from attacks against him. He uses those attacks, and turns them against the attackers. Isn’t it great to see a progressive politician stand up and defend the principles that we progressive voters hold dear? I feel betrayed by other so-called progressives who fail to make a vigorous defense of what I (and presumably they) believe.
Right on, Steve! Yes, it’s great to have a progressive keep knocking them out of the park in response to the softball pitches from Republicans.
