Professor Cornell West says "Hillary might start World War III as President," "Trump Presidency not the end of the world"

Author and political activist Cornel West told PJM that presumptive Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton is "much more of a hawk" than GOP nominee Donald Trump and warned that her presidency "could lead to World War III."

"When it comes to foreign policy, Hillary is of course much more of a hawk than he is. There’s no doubt about it. So both of them, I think, are very dangerous. It’s just that when you specify certain zones, she’s better in certain zones and he’s better in certain zones – but he is still fascist, which is in the end very, very frightening," West said at the Olivet Institutional Baptist Church in Cleveland, which held a social action forum titled "Impact 2016" on the third day of the Republican National Convention.

"Sister Hillary is much better in terms of social issues – keeping track of our precious gay and lesbian brothers and sisters and bisexual and transgender folk. She’s much better in terms of at least wanting to address some issues of racism. There’s no doubt about that. In terms of economic issues, they are both tied to Wall Street. Trump’s an independent money man but he still has a Wall Street mentality. It’s big money – big banks," he added.

West said a Trump presidency would not be "the end of the world" because "fascists" have come and gone throughout history.
