Independent presidential candidate Cornel West announced fellow academic Melina Abdullah as his vice presidential nominee in an interview Wednesday on “The Tavis Smiley Show.” “She has a record of deep commitment and investment in ensuring that poor and working people are at the center of her vision,” West said of his running mate. “I wanted to to run with someone who would put a smile on the face of Fannie Lou Hamer and Martin Luther King Jr. from the grave.
” West used the recent police shooting of Dexter Reed in Chicago and the Israel-Hamas war to draw a contrast between him and Abdullah and Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris. “Biden and Harris right now are tied to vicious forms of lies that are hiding the crimes. You just had Lloyd Austin say that there’s no genocide taking place,” West said. “That’s a lie. The same is true when it comes to Chicago on the South Side. You’re gonna have the police saying police didn’t violate the law.
