The host explained that this new group will represent voters and not corporate donors. He used a conversation between TYT reporter Jordan Chariton and former representative Barney Frank during the 2016 presidential race where Frank was reported to have asked Chariton if grassroots Democrats really expected the leadership not take take at least some money offered by corporate donors.
Others involved in the Justice Democrats platform include Kyle Kulinski of Secular Talk and two senior advisers to U.S. Senator from Vermont Bernie Sanders during his presidential run and their teams.
