Bernie Sanders: Of course conservatives attack Pope Francis — he is a socialist
Sanders said he considered Pope Francis to be a socialist, like himself.
“Well, what it means to be a socialist, in the sense of what the pope is talking about, what I’m talking about, is to say that we have got to do our best and live our lives in a way that alleviates human suffering, that does not accelerate the disparities of income and wealth,” he said. “When he talks about wealth being used to serve people, not as an end in itself, I agree with that.
“He has been very direct: No, he does not believe in trickle-down economics theory,” Sanders added.
