CHICAGO (CBS) — A Chicago Public Schools principal is blasting the mayor, all in the name of getting votes for Bernie Sanders.

In a politically charged ad in support of Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders, Chicago school principal Troy LaRaviere, says, “In Chicago, we have endured a corrupt political system and the chief politician standing in the way of us getting good schools is out mayor.”

LaRaviere says the campaign called him, not surprising because he became a vocal critic of Mayor Rahm Emanuel when he campaigned for his mayoral opponent Chuy Garcia and became an active Sanders supporter last summer.

The call to tape an ad came last Saturday.

“We met in Uptown and they had a camera crew there and they started asking me questions,” LaRaviere said.

No script, no staging, just questions like, “Why do you support Bernie?” and “What makes you think Bernie is the right candidate?”

4. Rahm is a piece of crap who has fucked over Chicago... and Hillary has aligned herself with him

Kind of fitting I suppose. At least it helps Bernie.

12. Rahm is about as likable as Ted Cruz

He is figuratively hanging around Hillary's neck in Chicago and she wouldn't go near him when she was in town.
