Sanders calls for more help for communities in need

Democratic presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders focused on helping minority communities during a series of campaign events in St. Paul, Minn., on Friday.

“What I believe we should do is invest most heavily in those communities most in need,” he said at a forum hosted by Neighborhoods Organizing for Change, according to the Star Tribune.

However, he didn’t go as far as some in the audience hoped. According to the report, someone in the audience shouted, “We were promised reparations! We were told we were going to get it!”

“I am not a single-issue candidate and this is not a single-issue country! We need a president who can do all parts of the job on behalf of all Americans,” she added, according to the Twin Cities Pioneer Press.

“People say that my vision for America, my ideas, are just too radical,” he said. “The only thing that is radical is the fact that the insurance companies and the drug companies and the fossil fuel industry and Wall Street and the military-industrial complex, they are standing in opposition to what we have to accomplish.”
