Bernie Sanders On NSA Leak Revelations: We’re Heading For An ‘Orwellian Future’
Posted in: Today's ChiliSen. Bernie Sanders (I.-Vt.) shared some impassioned criticism of NSA surveillance on MSNBC’s “All In With Chris Hayes” Monday night.
Sanders criticized the “Orwellian” future he sees looming for the United States if it continues to record its citizens’ activities in the name of national security.
The Vermont Senator argued that focusing too much on NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden — how he leaked the information and how he’ll be dealt with by the US government — is a distraction from the more fundamental questions raised by his disclosures about the NSA. “The question is what freedom and liberty mean in the United States of America? What does our constitution mean? What kind of country do we want to be?” Sanders said.
