Sen. Bernie Sanders and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez rally thousands in LA

Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vermont, and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-New York, in fiery speeches, told an estimated crowd of tens of thousands in downtown Los Angeles to stand up for the working class.

The progressive duo said that together the public can defeat President Donald Trump and his wealthy allies, who, they said, are more interested in enriching themselves than helping the American people.

The Saturday, April 12, event was the latest stop for Sanders and Ocasio-Cortez as part of their “Fighting Oligarchy” tour.
