US Sen. Bernie Sanders congratulates Jeremy Corbyn, who headed the Labour Party as it was inundated with antisemitism scandals, for retaining his seat in British Parliament after running as an independent candidate in this week’s election.
“Corbyn made the mistake of believing that the Labour Party should represent labor – and was expelled. His constituents disagreed,” Sanders tweets. “Now he’s back.”
Congrats to Jeremy Corbyn for winning his seat as an Independent in the UK elections with a strong grassroots campaign.
Corbyn made the mistake of believing that the Labour Party should represent labor – and was expelled. His constituents disagreed.
Now he’s back.
