Presidential hopeful Julian Castro asks why Bernie Sanders is wiling to write big checks for Medicare-for-all and tuition but not reparations.
Democratic presidential hopeful Julián Castro took aim at rival 2020 contender Senator Bernie Sanders on Sunday, criticizing him for not backing reparations for black American descendants of former slaves.
Making a comparison, Castro pointed to Sanders’ repeated promise to push through"Medicare for All" and debt-free higher education. Although Sanders has long been a prominent supporter of civil rights, even getting arrested during a demonstration with black Americans in the early 1960s, he has also consistently said that he does not believe reparations are the answer to address persistent inequality in the country.
