US presidential candidate Cornel West: 'Biden is a war criminal' | The Bottom Line

American voters feel “impotent and hopeless” as they approach an election where the main choices are a “neo-fascist Pied Piper” (Donald Trump) or “the war criminals of the Democratic Party”, argues independent presidential candidate Cornel West.

West, one of the United States’s pre-eminent philosophers and justice activists, tells host Steve Clemons that President Joe Biden is enabling Israeli genocide and that Israel cannot be secure if “precious Jewish security and safety is predicated on the domination of precious Palestinians”.

West argues that recent talk of a two-state solution is “subterfuge – a refusal to deal with the 700,000 Israeli settlers in the West Bank”.

    Americans must show that genocide is not tolerated.
  • I haven't voted in the last 12 years because I'm sick of the lies from both parties. If Dr. West runs for the office, I would vote.
  • @patriciaeddy7629
    As a long time Democrat, I can no longer cast my vote for Biden.
  • @SS-rt6bo
    I never registered to vote because I had no trust at any candidates of these two parties to deliver justice to American citizens and the world. But now I will register and will vote with my whole family and friends for Dr. Cornel West. Thank you Dr. West, most Americans are with you, do not back up. My request to all Americans, please spread Dr. West words to every corner of America, this way we can elect him as a dignified president of the United State of America without these corrupt corporates money. We don't need big money to elect our president, we need awareness.

    Thanks to the host to giving Mr West the space to expressing himself without rebutting him every minute.

    You have my vote dr. West. Your words moved me. Thank you for standing up for what is right and good. Let the party of love and peace exist already!!!
  • @mumsow
    Please Americans vote Dr West in.
  • I just re-registered to vote for Dr. Cornel West in California. I could NOT be happier!
  • @samsharif4768
    Cornel West is the true voice of reason and humanity!!
  • I am not a US citizen, but this is the first presidential candidate where I can say that if I were a US citizen, I would definitely vote for him in the next election. I have never encountered his Christian philosophical vision and the resulting statements in any other presidential candidate. May the Almighty richly bless Mr. Cornel West AMEN🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
  • @user-ne8yi1io4h
    That was a wonderful talk. Cornel got my vote within the first 10 minutes.
  • This man seems to be on the right track. I'm already thinking of voting for him. I want to hear more about him. No presidential candidate should ever be censored in America or relentlessly attacked for wanting to do what's right for our country, ever! He makes many points clearly understood. Finally someone who speaks truth for all! We were all born the same way, and die the same way, in a sense. My only concern is that if he can be bought, bribed or forced to change to suit the elitists who are only after money and power. I'm going to watch this man, I like him already, even though it's my first time seeing him. His body language seems to reveal deep interest and concern.
  • What an honest man. and brave man Cornel is!! He tells like it is 100%!! He fears no man, no group of people, no organization, no politicians, no country, no corporations, no retaliation, no nothing.
