Bernie Sanders' campaign rebukes Julian Castro's criticism about slavery reparations

Excerpt:
In a 2020 press call, Sanders' campaign manager, Faiz Shakir, told INSIDER that an effort to "play politics" on this issue does a "disservice" to the senator's "lifelong" advocacy for "racial and economic justice," and ignores the nuances of a "worthy debate."
"I think this is a worthy debate, I appreciate all of the candidates offering their thoughts and ideas. No one's got the magic vision," Shakir said of the ongoing discussion on reparations in the context of the 2020 campaign season.
"We've had an awful legacy of slavery, awful legacy of racial disparities across so many different areas," Shakir added.
But anyone who says they have a "magic bullet" to address this is "lying," he said.
