On Tuesday, former Democrat presidential candidate Bernie Sanders endorsed Hillary Clinton for president.
Alabama Republican Party Chairman Terry Lathan made the following statement following Sanders’ endorsement:
“Today America saw Bernie Sanders, a devout and proud socialist, endorse Hillary Clinton for president. This endorsement, from a man who embraces socialism and enthusiastically applauds adding a crushing debt to our nation, only adds to the disaster that would be a Hillary Clinton presidency.”
“Last week, the presumptive Democrat nominee was scolded by FBI Director James Comey for all the world to see. Mrs. Clinton lied repeatedly to Congress and the American people. Her foreign policy history is a catastrophe. She has no idea how to invigorate our economy as she is not a job creator but a job crusher. Her belief in more federal regulations will only grow the size of our government and decrease American jobs. Her desire to end the coal industry is disturbing.”
“Now, Bernie Sanders, a card carrying socialist, officially agrees her experience is what America needs. We’ve seen what happens when America is infiltrated with liberal policies. It only harms our nation.We can’t stand any more ‘berns’ on our nation. Alabama will continue to reject Democrat policies in our counties and state.”
“We look forward to the distinct contrast between Mr. Trump’s conservative policies and Mrs. Clinton’s continued liberal path. America is at a crossroads and we plan to get this election right by electing a Republican this November.”
