Psst, it isn’t. Obviously not a Mensa candidate…
Washington (CNN)Donald Trump’s victory based on the Electoral College — and not the popular vote — underscores that the American government is “not a government of the people,” rapper and activist Vic Mensa told CNN in a wide-ranging interview earlier this month.
“The people spoke and elected Hillary Clinton, but this isn’t a real democracy,” Mensa told CNN, a reference to how Clinton leads by 2 million votes in the popular vote count. “… We’re still operating as a nation off of rules and laws that were enacted as a slave-owning state.”
But Mensa, who voted for the Democratic presidential nominee despite being critical of her, said that Trump’s win does come with a silver lining.
