Cardi B and Bernie Sanders
Back in August of 2019 a video of Cardi B and Bernie Sanders discussing political issues and questions from fans off of Cardi's Instagram went viral with 22 million views on their social media. Cardi B is one of Bernie's most powerful allies going into 2020. Her social media might be another reason on why Bernie sided with Cardi. According to POLITICO, Cardi's and Bernie's friendship is based off progressive ideals, love for Franklin D. Roosevelt (FDR), and a somewhat similar attitude.
Cardi's been on Sanders side since 2016, Sander's actually didn't know who Cardi was til 2018. He heard one of her famous quotes, "He's the real 'Make America Great Again,' President because if it wasn't for him, older Americans wouldn't even get Social Security." By he, she is referring to FDR. Bernie Sanders then tweeted, "Cardi B is right. If we are really going to make America great we need to strengthen Social Security."
They discussed tons of important topics and the one that stood out to me was where they talked about Sander's plan to eliminate student loan debt. Cardi agreed with his plan and responded saying, "I think this is the best thing to do. A lot of people drop out of colleges and don't attend college because they can't afford it, like me." Bernie was astounded by how smart Cardi actually is and excited having her on his side.
