Bernie Sanders and Cardi B agree on Social Security

Bernie Sanders, Cardi B, Social Security

An unlikely duo.

On the surface, most people would not expect a seasoned politician like Bernie Sanders to agree with the opinions of big-name rappers, especially Cardi B. On Wednesday, though, he did just that.

"Cardi B is right," he wrote on Twitter, "If we are really going to make America great we need to strengthen Social Security so that seniors are able to retire with the dignity they deserve."


This tweet was a response to an interview Cardi B did with GQ, saying that Franklin Delano Roosevelt truly tried to 'Make America Great Again.' "If it wasn't for him, old people wouldn't even get Social Security," she said.

He also tweeted out a follow-up video where he speaks about the issue.

Sanders has also teamed up with other influential artists in the hip-hop industry before. Killer Mike of Run The Jewels fame campaigned for the senator during the 2016 presidential election cycle.

Sanders also shared a similar tweet in regards to a New York Times interview with Jay-Z, saying, "Jay-Z is right: We have to end the war on drugs."
