Van Jones: Bernie Was For Civil Rights When Hillary Was For Goldwater

On Tuesday, Van Jones and Bakari Sellers discussed the democratic presidential race on CNN.

Jones emphasized that Bernie Sanders sounds like a one-issue candidate, but he doesn’t have to. He added, “It is ironic [Hillary Clinton has] taken so many of his issues and now says he has one issue.”

Jones later added, “Sanders does have a great civil rights story to tell. In the sixties he was for civil rights. Unfortunately, Hillary Clinton was for Barry Goldwater. He can talk about other issues, and I think he should, especially when he’s talking to an African-American audience. Tell your story about civil rights.”
