After nearly a year of the Trump presidency, do you regret your criticisms of Barack Obama?
"Oh, no. I told the truth. When I said drone strikes are crimes against humanity, when I said Obama bailed out Wall Street rather than Main Street — I shall forever support that. I was just speaking to the reality that people are hurting, and we have to do the same thing under Trump as we did under Obama.
They tried to make me the darling of the liberal establishment. I refused it."
— Cornel West, in an interview with The New York Times
