Candace Owens spars with Dr. Cornel West over the impact of socialism on African-Americans

A lively debate ensued on "The Ingraham Angle" Tuesday evening between conservative commentator Candace Owens and renowned Harvard philosopher Dr. Cornel West.

The two discussed 2020 presidential candidates Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders and hashed out their disagreements on the issue of welfare policies and their impact on the African-American community.

The two had a rare agreement in their condemnation of Biden, who Dr. West slammed as a "backward-looking neo-liberal with little vision and less courage." Dr. West, for the second consecutive presidential election, has thrown his support behind Bernie Sanders -- an endorsement Owens vehemently disagreed with.

Sanders' self-declared Democratic socialism is the primary issue Owens has with him as a candidate, she said, arguing that socialist welfare policies have "destroyed and decimated the black community."

The professor and activist went on to say that Bernie Sanders is a politician who has "vision, courage and consistency" who has stood steadfast with poor working Americans.

West is nothing more than a neo liberal tool. He knows this too.

Perfesser?? He's Jesse and Al hanging out on campus. He views life through one self-serving lens.
