Eric Williams, OPPD

Socialist Pawn

Update 2: RightCheer.com also covered the event (https://rightcheer.substack.com/p/$bernie-sanders-targets-vulnerable).

Update: World Herald did cover Sanders event: https://omaha.com/news/local/government-politics/bernie-sanders-explains-reason-for-trip-to-omaha-to-fight-the-oligarchy/article_4b4fc586-ee43-11ef-9c01-574572b2e533.html

Yesterday, I posted about Bernie Sanders. After hearing a member of Omaha Public Power District was speaking at the event, I hunted down the speech of Eric Williams. As you can see, he represents a good chunk of Omaha just east of 72nd street.

I was expecting coverage from the Omaha World Herald but there was none. WOWT did (https://www.wowt.com/2025/02/22/claw-our-way-back-real-democracy-sanders-kicks-off-tour-omaha/). CSPAN did cover Sanders but the rest. Eventually I found the whole video of the event on the Bernie Sanders YouTube. Unfortunately, the audio is not very good at parts, but there is Eric Williams speaking. He has become a useful idiot as Sanders attacks on the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) which has benefitted nearly everyone.
