Bernie Sanders rally in Baltimore



Bernie Sanders brought his brand of "political revolution" to Baltimore Saturday before an adoring crowd of thousands in the downtown civic center in the run-up to Tuesday's Maryland primary.

The Vermont senator won an enthusiastic response from a diverse crowd for an hourlong jeremiad against the establishment, the status quo and what he called the greed of Wall Street. He faces a showdown with Hillary Clinton for the Democratic nomination for president Tuesday in several Eastern states besides Maryland.

Sanders sprinkled his speech with frequent references to Baltimore and its problems with poverty at an event that came nearly a year after the rioting following the death of Freddie Gray in police custody.
