Cardi B grills Bernie Sanders on jobs and wages at a nail salon

[Uncle Joe]

Bronx rapper Cardi B released a clip of her sit-down chat with Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders to her more than 49 million Instagram followers Tuesday.

Cardi, born Belcalis Almanzar, teased late last month that she was filming a voter outreach video with the Vermont senator, who she has openly supported in the past. Cardi asked fans what they wanted her to discuss with Sanders during their conversation, which was filmed at a nail salon owned by two black women in Detroit.

In the clip released Tuesday, the pair addressed what Cardi asked what she claimed was her fans' most asked question, "What are we gonna do about wages in America?"

"Right now we have tens of millions of people making what I call starvation wages," Sanders responded. "How do you pay your rent? How do you pay for food? How do you pay for transportation? You can’t."

7. I'm Bernie/Warren. Whoever has the most momentum.

I live Bernie for being right on the issues for so long and not apologizing for being liberal. Also, like it or not, he has a lot to do with more mainstream democratic candidates being less afraid to claim the liberal mantle they feared ever since Reagan came in.

Warren has similar policies and is likely smarter and more competent, but wish she had the courage to run in 2016. I’m leaning more in her favor at the moment.

I’m just surprised that Biden is no longer your top. I think he’s a decent enough guy, but lacks some self awareness that makes it too easy to have these cringeworthy moments.
