Sanders Says He’s Losing Because Poor People Don’t Vote

Sen. Bernie Sanders “has built his campaign on a message of combating income inequality, but that message doesn’t seem to be resonating in many of the states with the country’s highest levels of income inequality,” NBC News reports.

“Of the 25 states with the highest levels, 17 have held primaries so far — and Hillary Clinton has won 16 of those contests.”

When asked why he thinks he’s losing in those states, Sanders responded: “Well, because poor people don’t vote. I mean, that’s just a fact.”
