How the Holocaust shaped Bernie Sanders’s politics | The Times of Israel
WASHINGTON — Bernie Sanders thinks US President Donald Trump represents a unique threat to the body politic. The most powerful man in America, he argues, is a demagogue and a racist. He targets and oppresses racial and ethnic minorities. He stirs discord and division.
But it’s Trump’s hostility to immigrants that bothers Sanders with an acute resonance, he said. In a rare interview this week in which the Democratic presidential hopeful opened up about his personal story, he accused the president of trying to “demonize people because they were not born in this country.”
