Killer Mike has been a strong proponent for Bernie Sanders during the Vermont senator’s run for president this year, and the Atlanta rapper spoke candidly with VladTV about why he supports Sanders.

Mike started out by clarifying his statements comparing Bernie Sanders’ policies with those of Martin Luther King Jr., as he believes that Sanders and King both had an understanding that the caste system in the U.S. is based on class not discriminated by color. The rapper then added that both Senator Sanders and Dr. King both classified themselves as “social Democrats,” which has been misconstrued in the media when it comes to Sanders.

Moving along, Killer Mike addressed Hillary Clinton labeling Black youth as “super predators” during a 1996 speech, which has given her trouble during her current presidential campaign. The Atlanta rapper told us that he was happy to hear that Hilary apologized for her “grotesquely evil” comments, and you can hear more of what Killer Mike had to say on that situation and more in the above clip.
