"War Criminals and Genocide Deniers": Cornel West to Mehdi on Biden, Blinken, and Gaza
Whether it’s joining Columbia students to protest Gaza or calling for the redistribution of wealth, Democratic Socialist Dr. Cornel West has never been afraid to go against the establishment. And this year, he plans to do that in one of most controversial ways - by running as a third-party candidate.
In an exclusive interview for Mehdi Unfiltered, Dr. Cornel West reveals to Mehdi why he can’t support Biden’s neoliberalism over Trump’s facsism. He also explains to Mehdi that although he worries about a second Trump presidency, he is ultimately okay with the risk his candidacy poses.

Founded by Mehdi Hasan, Zeteo has a strong bias for the truth and an unwavering belief in the media’s responsibility to the public. Unfiltered news, bold opinions.

How can you look at trump and Biden and not think that Dr West is far superior.

@@Godisgood1980SATrump had the chance to prove to the world that he wasn't just another puppet of the establishment and his donors, he failed! Trump is no better than Biden, Obama, George W Bush, Clinton, George H W Bush and on and on. We continue to bounce from Republican to Democrat and back each time hoping for results and each time we're disappointed. Time to break free of the 2 party strangle hold.

He doesn't want to pay the money he owes to take care of his child, I wonder if he is even in the child's life at all, and he supports government programs to help the poor but he doesn't want to pay his share of taxes to help pay for those programs.

Wasn't that amazing? How he defended his tradition and inspiration.
These two men are truly exemplary for their courage in speaking truth to power.
Why didn't you ask him why he took all that money from Harlan Crow? How does that make him any different than Clarence Thomas? Yes, he gave it back, but only after so many people complained. And he was furious about it, he raved about what a good friend Harlan Crow is. Also, he says rich people should pay more taxes. I agree with that, but he doesn't. When he was pulling in millions, he refused to pay his taxes. He owed hundreds of thousands in back taxes.
This guy is too good to be a politician. Politics and integrity do not go together. Imagine the US of A having an intelligent, articulate humane president… that will never be! You have my sincere prayers Dr Cornel West.
