Bernie Sanders snags endorsement from top Muslim group

Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders earned an endorsement this week from the self-proclaimed largest Muslim political action committee in the United States.

Emgage PAC announced their support of the Vermont senator on Thursday, saying the decision was based on his “inclusive” presidential campaign.

“More than any other presidential candidate, Senator Sanders has built a historically inclusive and forward-thinking movement: one that represents America as a set of ideas grounded in the belief that all humans are equal and worthy of a dignified life,” Emgage PAC CEO Wa'el Alzayat said in a statement.

“Our endorsement is intended to galvanize Muslim Americans at the polls to ensure that our voices are heard. Furthermore, we hope that this endorsement marks a new era of presidential candidates including Muslim American voices in the political process and policy-making decisions," he added.

Imagine that, someone who understands not all Muslims are extremists gets an endorsement from Muslims.

Obama is a Socialist and was a Muslim sympathizer and now with Sanders we have a Socialist Communist Muslim sympathizer. Dems are trying very hard to convert the US to Socialist Communist rule.

12:11 perhaps you have heard of the Kurds? The allies Trump betrayed after we allied with them to fight against ISIS? They are muslim and surely far more fierce warriors than a keyboard warrior like yourself.

1:32 “We” didn’t ally with the enemy. Obama did and he made another bad choice to side with America’s enemies.

!:31 What is the difference in Communism and Liberalism? Both believe in controlling every one that is not wealthy and make them even poorer. Control their way of life. Control their healthcare. Control / indoctrinate their education. Must I continue?
