Sen. Bernie Sanders’ comments on race relations during Sunday night’s CNN Democratic presidential debate set off a firestorm of consternating social media posts, but a former U.S. congressman decided to do more than just post an angry tweet — he’s seeking to get the White House involved.
Former Illinois Rep. Joe Walsh created a WhiteHouse.gov petition Monday that calls for ending institutional racism, starting with Sanders.
