“President Trump said tonight, ‘We are born free and we will stay free.’ Well, I say to President Trump, people are not truly free when they can’t afford to go to the doctor when they are sick…when they can’t afford to buy the prescription drugs they desperately need,” said Sanders.
In addition, the senator said, “People are not truly free when they are not able to retire with dignity…when they are exhausted because they are working longer and longer hours. People are not truly free when they cannot afford a decent place in which to live in. People are not certainly free when they cannot afford to feed their families.”
Furthermore, Sanders quoted Martin Luther King Jr.’s statement in 1968, “This country has socialism for the rich and rugged individualism for the poor.” The senator pointed out that statement is true during that time and still true today, which is “absolutely unacceptable.”
Progressive Democrats think Trump is using socialism as scare tactic
On the other hand, Ocacio-Cortez commented that Trump is using socialism as a scare tactic. She said, “I think he’s scared. He sees that everything is closing in on him and he knows that he’s losing the battle on public opinion.
