Bernie Sanders fires up Bangor for Hillary Clinton

BANGOR — Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders on Friday urged a crowd of more than 500 people at the Cross Insurance Center to vote for Hillary Clinton for president next month.

Recent polls have shown Trump polling about 10 points ahead Clinton in the 2nd Congressional District that includes all of the state north of Augusta and Lewiston.

Sanders, who handily bested Clinton in the Maine Democratic caucus earlier this year, told the crowd that he understood working and middle class Americans feel they are falling behind and see little chance of getting ahead.

“Now, people are angry and they have a right to be angry,” Sanders told the crowd that chanted, “Bernie, Bernie, Bernie,” as he took the stage. “But let’s take our anger out on people that caused the problems. You want to be angry, look at the crooks on Wall Street.”
