Bernie Sanders will announced a slew of endorsements today, including Pennsylvania state Rep. Sara Innamorato who he called a “beacon of Pennsylvania’s progressive movement”:
The @BernieSanders campaign is set to roll out the endorsement later this morning and is expected to refer to Innamorato as a "beacon of Pennsylvania's progressive moment" who has led locally on issues that are important to the senator's campaign.

She likes Bernie’s “people-centered policy solutions”:
"What I see in Bernie Sanders is a willingness to engage with community leaders to think of community-centered, people-centered policy solutions that don't just come from the top down," Innamorato told me last night.

And the elderly socialist has called her a “political revolutionary” in the past:

What Sen. Sanders left out, however, is this past statement from the young socialist who once said the “white working class poor folk” in her district are racist:

PA Democrat Socialist Rep. Sara Innamorato: "My district is 93% white, which I know is like white working class poor folk who are racist."
