TYT: Killer Mike Rocks Bernie Sanders Rally



Killer Mike is a rapper out of Atlanta, and Bernie Sanders was in the city campaigning. The two got to know eachother, and Killer Mike gave an impassioned speech in support of Bernie Sanders. Cenk Uygur, hosts of the The Young Turks, breaks it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.

"Rapper Killer Mike delivered an impassioned speech in Atlanta Monday night endorsing Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) for president.

"In my heart of hearts, I truly believe that Sen. Bernie Sanders is the right man to lead this country," the hip hop star, activist and Atlanta native said.

Killer Mike cited Sanders' stance on the Voting Rights Act, health care, education and ending the war on drugs as reasons for backing the Vermont senator's Democratic campaign.

Sanders spent part of the day with Killer Mike, who took him around the city and out for a meal at a soul food restaurant.

"I have said in many a rap, I don't trust the church or the government, a Democrat, Republican, a pope, a bishop or those other men," Killer Mike said. "But after spending five hours tonight, after spending five hours with someone who has spent the last 50 years radically fighting for your rights and mine, I can tell you that am very proud tonight to announce the next president of the United States, Sen. Bernie Sanders.””*
