BREAKING ISRAEL NEWS — In a rather extreme attempt to regain his fading hopes of becoming the Democrat nominee, Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders was endorsed by Rev. Jesse Jackson at a Michigan rally on Sunday.

β€œI stand with Bernie Sanders today because he stood with me. I stand with him because he’s never lost his taste for justice for the people. I stand with him because he stands with you,” Jackson told the crowd in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

β€œThe Biden campaign has not reached out to me or asked for my support,” he added. β€œThe Sanders campaign has, and they responded to the issues I raised.”

Jackson’s endorsement of Sanders was considered key since Biden has been outperforming him in attracting black voters. Biden won 61 percent of the black vote in the recent primaries held in South Carolina. This is ostensibly due to Biden’s appeal as having served under a two-term black president. 

As a symbol of his political bond with Jackson, Sanders posted a photo of him praying with teh Baptist minister.

It should be noted that despite his claims to being a β€œproud Jew”, Sanders does not normally attend synagogue. Sanders is currently
