 [Breitbart] "Bernie has won my heart," Baez, 75, wrote. "I joyfully and wholeheartedly endorse Bernie Sanders to be the nominee for the Democratic Party in the 2016 Presidential Election."
She explained that this is the second time she has endorsed a presidential candidate; the first time, she publicly backed the "master of the spoken word," Barack Obama. Baez said that "as a daughter of Quakers I pledged my allegiance not to a flag or a nation state but to humankind, the two often having little to do with each other."
She said a great incentive for her decision to endorse Sanders was due to his support for causes she has been personally involved with for decades. |
