Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) called Republican presidential candidate front runner Donald Trump a “pathological liar” on Sunday.
Trump had earlier in Sunday news show appearances called Sanders a liar. The Vermont Senator responded to Trump on ABC News’ “This Week.”
“I tell you, it really is rather extraordinary,” Sanders replied. “I think — and I say this straightforwardly — I think you have a pathological liar there.”
Sanders pointed to Trump insisting that he saw people in New Jersey cheering on 9/11. Multiple fact checkers have dubbed this false.
“Nobody has seen a tape of thousands of people celebrating the destruction of the Twin Towers in New Jersey,” Sanders said. “It doesn’t exist. And he keeps claiming it. That’s called pathological lying.”
Hit him again, Bernie. HARDER.
So many examples Bernie could have pointed to, but the example of the imaginary 9/11 crowds of cheering Muslims is New Jersey was the perfect one to bring up.
Two of the best moments of last night’s debate were Bernie’s epic takedown of Trump as being the candidate of “We’ve got to hate the Mexicans, they’re all rapists, we’ve got to hate the Muslims, all Muslims are terrorists,” and Hillary’s devastatingly accurate observation that Trump is ISIS’s best recruiter.
He could give JEB! a few lessons as well.
Exactly! The GOP–and right now, the GOP is Trump–is our enemy. Trump is the enemy. The GOP is our enemy!
I do believe that Clinton will be the Democratic nominee. I wish our mass media had given Sanders better airtime, though, because I believe he’s been given the shaft here. That said, I still believe Hillary Clinton is better equipped to beat the stuffing out of the Republicans and has the balls to hold them over a fire when she’s in the White House. So … I do hope her camp is seriously considering what they can offer Senator Bernie Sanders, in the way of an appointment, etc., so he and his great mind and compassion can be better serve the nation and people. He is a wonderful person, sharp as a tack, heart in the right place, knows how Washington works, etc. The man has talents that can be put to good use … Sorry, Vermont, but we need him in a national capacity.
So, pretty much the dream candidate for today’s GOP.
