Sanders was asked how he would sell himself in the South, and he answered that the problems that people are having are the same. Rachel Maddow asked about the challenges that his campaign is facing and that African-American voters in South Carolina don’t know him well enough. Sanders said he believes that he can convince African-American voters that he is their candidate, because of his civil rights record. He said, “I think I have the economic and social justice agenda now that once we get the word out will resonate with the African-American community.”

Sanders said that he is talking about taking on the Republican governor of South Carolina who is refusing to expand Medicaid. Sanders discussed free tuition and later added that real African-American youth unemployment is 51%, and mentioned his legislative efforts with Rep. John Conyers to tackle African-American youth unemployment.

Rachel Maddow asked Sen. Sanders how he would get businesses to reinvest in the American economy. Sen. Sanders said no more huge tax breaks for large corporations who put their profits overseas, but instead will use that tax money to rebuild infrastructure and create 13 million new jobs.
