Bernie Sanders: Trump's Claim To Be Anti-Establishment Is "Amusing"
RCP video ^ | 1-22-2017 | Tim Hains

Sen. Bernie Sanders speaks to John Dickerson, host of 'Face The Nation' on CBS. Sanders calls Donald Trump's claim to be "fighting the establishment" to be funny, considering that he is surrounded by billionaires.

BERNIE SANDERS: Well, I found it somewhat amusing that Mr. Trump, President Trump, was punching the establishment, but right behind him, John, sitting in the VIP sections were billionaire after billionaire after billionaire, some of the most powerful people in this country , who over the last 10, 20 years have become much, much richer, while the middle class has shrunk.

So, I find it somewhat amusing that you are attacking the establishment when the establishment is sitting right behind you and when billionaires of large corporations are funding many of your inaugural events.

What did Bernie Sanders do before his senatorial career? How many years did/does Bernie 'serve' in the establishment? "The rich got much much richer while the middle class has shrunk" could be attributed to Bernie's ineffective career in the establishment. And yet he's the one who 'started this revolution', at each and every campaign stop of his.

I don't see rows and rows of billionaires in Trump campaign, more like everyday Americans.

Good to see Bernie finds it 'amusing'.

Nobody cares what this washed up socialist thinks. Except the corrupt media.

How’d you pay for your $600K vacation home, Bernie?

When you first got married, you moved your bride to a dirt floor shack.

The Burn needs to spend more time at his new Dacha that he likely will not be sharing with The Workers.

The “establishment” is D.C.

As usual, Dems trying to redefine terms to suit their narrative.

The “establishment” is the Uni-Party, the medi, the lobbyist who wine, dine and suckle on the D.C. teat.

D.C. has flourished while middle America goes to rot. They have essentially acted as brokers, selling off bits and pieces of America to foreign interests while collecting handsome commissions.

Sanders claim to be a Senator is amusing.

This money grabbing sellout posing as an outsider, when he is really a dyed in the wool Communist for over 55 years, is downright comical.

I can’t believe young people actually fell for his schtick.

He has a negative number on the charisma scale.

Bernie was a willing fool for the global establishment elite, those attempting to install Hillary at his expense and he still doesn’t get it, so he played the piper part too well and Hillary, well they couldn’t hide the corrupt self-aggrandizing hateful hag inside of her well enough,

We’ve all moved on with understanding these things but he obviously hasn’t.

Bernie, like the rest of his kind doesn’t perceive anything at all in the spirit, that this has been really all about being anti-Globalist anti-NWO and understanding that he and the MSM and those in power both on the left and on the right in this nation are and have been serving as nothing more than tools for the coming anti-Christ spirit at work in the world,

That evil spirit has been made clearer in the last two years more than at any time in history I believe, that is, it has become less concealed to believers, and that should give us all shudders just thinking about what that means and how close we really are to the end of these things,
