March 2 (UPI) — Sen. Bernie Sanders, speaking in Brooklyn during his campaign kickoff rally Saturday in Brooklyn, described Donald Trump as ‘most dangerous president in modern American history.’
Sanders, an independent from Vermont who is seeking the 2020 Democratic nomination, spoke to a crowd of around 13,000 supporters at Brooklyn College, according to a campaign estimate.
In 2016, he also sought to become president but fell short against Hillary Clinton for the party’s nomination.
“Thank you for being part of a campaign which is not only going to win the Democratic nomination, which is not only going to defeat Donald Trump, the most dangerous president in modern American history,” Sanders said to the supporters . “I want to welcome you to a campaign which says, loudly and clearly, that the underlying principles of our government will not be greed, hatred and lies. It will not be racism, sexism, xenophobia, homophobia and religious bigotry.”
On Feb. 19, he announced his candidacy in a video, joining a crowded field of announced candidates and possible contenders.
