Cornell West is a truth-teller. I'm glad he's part of the presidential race because he is a thoughtful, brave, compassionate, and honest person who sees how devastating America’s forever wars have been to this country and the world, and who understands how corrupt corporate influence has hijacked our government and both political parties — especially the Democratic Party elites.

Dr. West brings civility, decency, and respect into politics — qualities sadly lacking in today’s political culture. His candidacy can help raise the level of political discourse in this country. #Kennedy24
