Senator Bernie Sanders is backing Cardi B up after the rapper spoke highly about former President Franklin Delano Roosevelt in a recent GQ interview.
If you've read the interview already, then you know that Cardi admitted that she enjoys studying presidents of the United States and the government, overall. So, in her conversation, the Invasion Of Privacy artist got very deep about how FDR really made America "great again."
âIâm obsessed with presidents. Iâm obsessed to know how the system works,â she told the publication. Cardi continued about the former prez: âHe helped us get over the Depression, all while he was in a wheelchair. Like, this man was suffering from polio at the time of his presidency, and yet all he was worried about was trying to make America greatâmake America great again for real. Heâs the real âMake America Great Again,â because if it wasnât for him, old people wouldnât even get Social Security.â
Now, here comes Sanders. He tweeted that he agreed with Cardi's words. On Wednesday (April 18), the former presidential candidate said: "Cardi B is right. If we are really going to make America great we need to strengthen Social Security so that seniors are able to retire with the dignity they deserve." Check out Sanders' messages below.
Ummmm, yeah.
