Vermont Sen. and Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders spoke Monday about his campaign and about the Republican incumbent, who he called “the most dangerous president in the modern history of this country.”Sanders was referring, of course, to President Donald Trump, who is facing an impeachment inquiry launched by the Speaker of the House of Representatives. “It doesn’t give me any pleasure to say this, because it will put the country through another trauma that we don’t need to go through. But I think you have a president who is incredibly corrupt, mostly focused on the needs of his own wealth and his own power. I think that he does not understand the Constitution. I don’t think he understands or respects the rule of law,” Sanders told WCVB during an interview in New Hampshire, where Sanders was campaigning for the second consecutive day. “He is a racist and a sexist and a xenophobe and a religious bigot,” Sanders said about Trump. “It gives me no pleasure to say this, but this is the truth.”Sanders also told NewsCenter 5 anchor and "On The Record" co-host Ed Harding that his campaign has thousands of volunteers in New Hampshire alone and over 1 million nationwide. While he acknowledged the campaign “has a long way to go,” he expressed confidence in his ability to win the Democratic nomination. “We have received more individual donations from working class people than any candidate in the history of American politics,” Sanders said. Sanders also pointed to his experience in the last presidential campaign, where he lost the nomination to Hillary Clinton but made several policy proposals that have made their way into the mainstream discussion within the Democratic Party, such as his minimum wage, health care and climate change proposals. “Four years ago, people were worried about climate change. Now, the intensity of that worry is much, much greater,” Sanders said. “People are seeing what climate change is doing to the planet now and they understand the scientists are telling us, ‘It’s only going to get worse.’”If elected, Sanders said he would lead a transition away from fossil fuels and toward sustainable energy sources.
