After watching war documentaries, Cardi was inspired to explore her political aspirations. “Like I was watching war documentaries. No matter how many weapons a country have you need people! How are you trying to go against a country and possibly start a war wen this country lacks patriotism? I barely see people claiming they LOVE being American,” she added.

This is not the first time Cardi has shared an interest in politics. She has been an outspoken critic of President Donald Trump on social media. Last year, she sat down with Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders for an interview where they discussed issues facing Americans today including police brutality, immigration, and healthcare.
She already has the endorsement of Bernie’s supporters. “We’re early endorsing @iamcardib,” tweeted the @People4Bernie account.
