Third-party candidate Cornel West came out swinging against the Democratic Party and progressives within it for criticizing his candidacy during an interview.
THIRD-PARTY PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE CORNEL WEST RIPS 'MEDIOCRE, MILQUETOAST' BIDEN: 'GET OFF THE CRACK PIPE'
"The Democratic Party is beyond redemption at this point when it comes to seriously speaking to the needs of poor and working people," West stated."The neofascism that's escalating is predicated on the rottenness of a system in which the Democratic Party facilitates frustration and desperation because it can't present an alternative. If America is not able to present an alternative to the Democratic Party, then we're going fascism.
"Now, Brother Bernie understands that, don't get me wrong, he's on my side in that sense. But at this particular historical moment, he's on the side of the Democratic establishment rather than the critics of that establishment trying to generate an alternative." "The Democratic Party is beyond redemption at this point when it comes to seriously speaking to the needs of poor and working people," West said in the interview Tuesday.According to a poll conducted last week by the Emerson College Polling Center, in a head-to-head matchup between former President Donald Trump and Biden, Trump would receive 44%, Biden would receive 39% and West would receive 4% of the vote.
Since then, as he has gained support, Democrats like Sanders and Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., and Jim McGovern, D-Mass., have expressed concern about his ability to potentially hurt Biden's re-election chances.Get the latest updates from the 2024 campaign trail, exclusive interviews and more Fox News politics content.
