Why Mexico's AMLO Is Still So Popular Despite Rampant Violence | Jorge Ramos | GZERO World

"The message for the killers and for the drug cartels is very simple: 'You kill in Mexico, and nothing happens to you.'"

And he pins much of the blame on the man who assumed office on a pledge to curb violence: Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador. But despite his failure to follow through on a key campaign promise, López Obrador remains widely popular in Mexico. Ramos offers a theory for why that is during his interview with Ian Bremmer on GZERO World.
