I haven't watched this (might do that later), but I did see the video of Bernie's Friday night rally in Detroit and thought West - along with the various other speakers - were quite compelling.

It was filled with anger and arm waving and indignation regarding "neo-liberals" and middle class black people.

He did what he was suppose to do - fire up the crowd. That is all.
