Bernie Sanders Defends Campaigning For Anti-Abortion Rights Democrat

Sen. Bernie Sanders speaks during an event at the the James L. Knight Center on Thursday in Miami as part of a Democratic unity tour. Sanders is getting heat for campaigning with Omaha, Neb., mayoral candidate Heath Mello, who has supported abortion restrictions.

Sanders endorses Heath Mello for mayor of Omaha, Neb., and tells NPR, “In some conservative states there will be candidates that are popular candidates who may not agree with me on every issue.”
