Bernie Sanders Takes Pride in Making 'Fringe,' 'Radical,' and 'Extremist' Ideas 'Mainstream'
By Tyler O'Neil June 14, 2018
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) gloried in driving the Left further in the direction of big government at the We the People Summit in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday.
The independent senator, who posed a formidable challenge to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in the Democratic primary in 2016, credited the audience and progressive activists across the country for pushing their fringe ideas into the mainstream.
"You have helped transform this country in so many ways," Sanders declared. "A few years ago — just a few years ago, I want you to think about it — many of the ideas that we talked about were thought to be fringe ideas, radical ideas, extremist ideas. Well, you know what? Because of your efforts, those ideas are now mainstream American ideas."
