Professor Cornel West continues to be an outspoken critic of Barack Obama, this time likening the president to a war criminal.
During Thursdays Tavis Smiley Show, West took on the administrations drone policy and said, The chickens are coming home to roost.
Weve been talking about this for a good while, the immorality of drones, dropping bombs on innocent people. Its been over 200 children so far. These are war crimes.
West said, Let us not be deceived Nixon, Bush, Obama, theyre war criminals, adding that They have killed innocent people in the name of the struggle for freedom, but theyre suspending the law, very much like Wall Street criminals. The law is suspended for them, but the law applies for the rest of us.
