Bernie Sanders Brings 'Fighting Oligarchy' Tour to Bethlehem, PA

[Uncle Joe]

The 83-year-old Vermont senator brings the “Fighting Oligarchy” tour to the Stabler Athletic & Convocation Center at Lehigh University. Joining Sanders and also speaking during the program will be U.S. Rep. Chris Deluzio, D-Pa. Deluzio represents Pennsylvania’s 17th Congressional District in western Pennsylvania.

Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, a two-time presidential candidate, said the nation needs a “political revolution in the deepest sense” during his visit Saturday to the Lehigh Valley.

“Democracy is not an entertainment activity,” he said at the start of his speech, which is ongoing. “It’s not a beauty contest. It’s not a concert. It’s getting active and standing up for the people next to us, the people down the block and the people across the country. We need to be thinking of new ways of how we can be more generous, more effective, how we can bring people together to create the kind of nation you and I know we can become.
