Bronx Councilman Richie Torres Supports Bernie Sanders!



With just a day to go before New York's presidential primary, Councilman Ritchie Torres of the Bronx is throwing his support behind Bernie Sanders, citing the Vermont senator's progressive agenda.

“Bernie represents a special phenomenon in progressive politics. He singularly has made inequality and poverty the focal point of the presidential election — that is his contribution to progressive politics and he’s energizing young people to an extent never seen before,” Torres said, in an interview with POLITICO New York.

I really do think that Bernie's performance at the Apollo, NAN and the Faith and Social Justice forum were spot on and helped him greatly!
