Bernie Sanders Criticizes Media Focus On ISIS! "ISIS & Terrorism Are A Huge National Issue But So Is Poverty & Unemployment"

In an effort to continue to focus the national spotlight on income and racial inequality, Bernie Sanders visited West Baltimore today and toured the neighborhood of Freddie Gray, the young African-American man whose death while in police custody sparked riots in the city last spring. Prior to the news conference, Sanders’ campaign reminded the media of the purpose of the event and asked only for questions “on topic,” in particular, not about ISIS. In the end, the Vermont senator was asked, though, if he specifically did not want to talk about the terror organization. “What about ISIS?” he replied, coming back to the podium microphone defensive and agitated. “Of course I’ll talk about ISIS, but today what we’re talking about is a community in which half of the people don’t have jobs.” Posted By Persist
