8 Things We Learned from Bernie Sanders and Killer Mike On The Breakfast Club
After suffering a crushing loss in the South Carolina Primaries this past weekend to Hillary Clinton (who somehow got more of the Black vote than Obama did back during his Presidential campaign), Bernie Sanders, and Killer Mike, took time to sit down with The Breakfast Club.
In his time with the morning trio, the Presidential hopeful took the opportunity to shed some light on his beliefs, his goals, and his controversial communist “connection.”
Hit the flip to see some of the things we learned from Bernie Sanders time on The Breakfast Club.

1. Marijuana
He wants to do away with marijuana being on the federal controlled substance act. That stance alone should win him the election, but I digress.
2. 1994 Crime Bill
Even though he voted for the much criticized ’94 Crime Bill, he states it was because included in that bill was a ban on military style assault weapons and legislation for violence against women.
3. 1996 Welfare Reform Act
He voted against the Welfare Reform act of ’96 that Hillary Clinton championed.
4. Police
He – like us – not only wants police officers held accountable for their crimes but also calls for federal investigations if people are killed while being apprehended.
5. More Police
Demilitarizing local police departments and having them resemble the neighborhood residents are just a few of the goals he hopes to achieve should he win the Presidency.
6. A March Man
Sanders went to the historical March On Washington For Jobs and Freedom in 1963.
8. A Communist?
Despite popular belief, he’s not a communist. His connection to communism lies in a Sister-City program he established between his town and the then Soviet Union because he believed people from different countries should get to know each other.
