Filling the remaining seats were then-Sen. John Kerry of Massachusetts, then-Sen. John Edwards of North Carolina and the Rev. Al Sharpton. Already, former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean, then-Rep. Dick Gephardt of Missouri and then-Sen. Joe Lieberman of Connecticut, among others, had dropped out of the race. King wanted to know when Kucinich would make his exit as well. “Logically, it appears like you’re up against it,” he said. “Why stay in?”
“I’m the voice for getting out of Iraq,” Kucinich recited earnestly. “For universal single-payer health care. For getting out of NAFTA and the WTO. For having our children go to college tuition-free.”
“You’re here to make statements then?” King said.
King moved on to same-sex marriage. This was years before establishment Democrats started announcing they had “evolved” on the subject. “Isn’t marriage inherently a man and a woman?” King asked. “No,” said Kucinich. He was for same-sex marriage.
King gave Kucinich a chance to detail his health-care ideas.
“Coverage for everyone,” said Kucinich. “All medically necessary procedures.”
“In other words, socialism,” said King, using a slur that still carried force at the time, a dozen years before a socialist would win nearly half the popular vote in the Democratic presidential primaries.
Kucinich tried to elaborate on health care but noticed that King was looking away.
I guess Dennis, like me, is really European and/or a globetrotter. F*ck America First! and French slime ball Macron, rethinking France as a world leader of MENA, Africa and the Middle East.
