Brother West running for President on third party ticket

Cornel West, the progressive activist and professor, announced a presidential campaign on Monday with the People’s Party, a third party led by a former campaign staff member for Senator Bernie Sanders.

“I enter in the quest for truth, I enter in the quest for justice, and the presidency is just one vehicle to pursue that truth and justice — what I’ve been trying to do all of my life,” Dr. West said in a campaign video posted on Twitter.

In the video, Dr. West said he had decided to run as a third-party candidate because “neither political party wants to tell the truth about Wall Street, about Ukraine, about the Pentagon, about Big Tech.” He called former President Donald J. Trump, the front-runner for the Republican nomination, a “neo-fascist,” and President Biden a “milquetoast neoliberal.”

Dr. West has taught at Yale, Princeton and Harvard and is currently a professor of philosophy at Union Theological Seminary. He is known for his progressive activism, including his sharp criticism of former President Barack Obama.

Jordan Peterson made a laughing stock out of him at a debate a few years ago. West is a race-baiting grifter. He went after Obama got dating to not kiss his ass.

The democrats and progressives are both teaming up to trash Brother West on Twitter, stating Brother West will steal votes from Biden and gove Refugs a win. I did not see this much venomous hate towards the Kennedy spawn.

A non serious candidate

Cornel West is a scary clown, a tax cheat and a deadbeat dad.

He looks and sounds like he belongs in a psych ward or a haunted house.

Ain't nobody got time for that.
