"Sen. Bernie Sanders made waves during the 2016 Democratic Presidential Primary when he called for a “political revolution” — and now, the Independent senator from Vermont is calling for another revolution of a different sort.
In an interview Sunday on CNN’s State of the Union, Sanders called attention to the widespread problem of sexual misconduct against women in the workplace, calling for a “revolution” that goes beyond the allegations that have taken down Sen. Al Franken and other powerful men in the worlds of politics, media and entertainment.
“Look, Al Franken indicated that he was going to resign, and I think what Franken did touches on an issue of enormous consequence for this country,” Sanders said Sunday, when asked by host Jake Tapper if the senator, like some of his other Senate colleagues, now regrets calling for Franken’s resignation.
“And what I worry about, Jake, it’s not just what happens with regards to famous people ... right now, as we speak, in restaurants all over this country, in offices all over this country, there are folks who are not famous who are harassing women, making demands on women that are obscene,” Sanders continued. “We need a revolution in the way we treat women in the workforce from the bottom on up.”"
