Bernie
Sanders turned away from the Democratic primary and Hillary Clinton and
toward Donald Trump in a speech before supporters in Phoenix on
Tuesday.
"The
reason that Donald Trump will never be elected president is the
American people will not accept insults to Mexicans, to Muslims, or
women," Sanders said to a roaring crowd of supporters.
"The American people will not accept a president who insults our
veterans. Or who several years ago led the so-called birther effort,
which was an ugly, ugly attempt to undermine the legitimacy of the
presidency of Barack Obama."
Sanders
did ding Clinton, too — but he was more than a half-hour into his
speech before mentioning the Democratic front-runner by name. Early on,
Sanders simply referred to her as his opponent,
as he knocked her for having a super PAC.
"She
has a super PAC, which among other special interest has received $15
million from Wall Street. She has received money from the drug companies
and the fossil-fuel industry," Sanders said.
"She has given speeches on Wall Street for $225,000 a pop. Now to my
mind, if you're going to give a speech for $225,000, it must be a really
great speech."
Sanders'
speech highlighted his campaign's focus on Arizona, his highest
priority of the trio of states next up on the Democratic primary
calendar. (The others are Utah and Idaho.) Sanders
made sure to lace his speech with references to immigration reform as
he courts Latino voters in the state.
"This
campaign is listening to the Latino community," Sanders said. "What the
Latino community is telling me is they are tired of living in the
shadows. They are tired of living in fear and
being exploited. They want, I want, comprehensive immigration reform.
And a path toward citizenship."
"Next
week Arizona has a very important election. We will win if the voter
turnout is high. Let's make it high," Sanders concluded.
