Rapper drops Clinton for Bernie Sanders

Brandon McCartney, known by his professional name Lil B The Based God, released a track last year expressing his love and respect for Bill Clinton.

And in his ode to the former President, titled "B---- I'm Bill Clinton," he raps a sort of endorsement for Hillary Clinton even before her 2016 presidential bid was announced: "Shout-outs to Hillary Clinton. You gonna win that presidency."

But last month, Lil B took that endorsement back, and in a series of passionate tweets, he publicly endorsed Bernie Sanders, saying, "As much as I want to a woman leading the USA, right now it's all about Bernie ... he's the real he loves us."

or not, depending on Team Bernie's best judgement.

So far they've been spot-on, so don't mean to 2nd-guess.

Bernie, in a nutshell.

Bernie is the only candidate that actually loves the American people. The others, no fucking way.
