Mike Rowe: Bernie Sanders a ‘knucklehead’
Television personality Mike Rowe is slamming Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), calling him a “knucklehead” for his remarks on college affordability.
The host of CNN’s “Somebody’s Gotta Do It” blasted a tweet from Sanders that suggested the government should pay for college to lessen the costs of incarceration.
At the end of the day, providing a path to go to college is a helluva lot cheaper than putting people on a path to jail.

“The truth, in my opinion, is this: There is no alternative for an education, and no hope for a person who doesn’t want to learn something useful and apply it. But there are many, many alternatives to college. And none of them come with a prison sentence,” Rowe wrote.
