Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders hasn't decided whether he will run for president in 2020, but until the next presidential election, the former candidate is on a mission: Stop Donald Trump from hurting Americans.
"You know, and I am not a guy in politics who really likes to attack viciously my opponents. It’s not my style. But I felt obliged during the campaign to say something that was just patently true, and that is that Trump is a pathological liar," Sanders said during in a Democracy Now! interview in late November that was released on Monday. "And, you know, I mean, he was saying—and the danger is, it may be—you know, everybody lies. You know you’re lying. But I fear very much that he may be not even knowing that he lies."
Sanders said Trump's recent tweet that the election results reflected vote rigging could set a dangerous precedent, with people questioning future presidential contests. Sanders has previously called Trump a liar.
"But this statement, as I mentioned earlier, the danger of this statement is not just that it is delusional and incorrect, is that it sets—if you have a president who believes that millions of people voted illegally, you’re telling every Republican official in this country to suppress the vote, to make it harder for people to vote, whether they are immigrants, whether they are people of color, whether they are poor people, young people or old people. That is the danger of that statement. And that’s something we have got to fight tooth and nail," Sanders said.
Sanders stopped short of calling Trump's supporters racist, something many of his critics have done because of the Republican's remarks vowing to deport 11 million undocumented immigrants, many of whom are Hispanic, and his pledge to ban Muslim travelers.

HOW TRUE!!
It still blows me away how many profoundly gullible liberals were ready to run headlong off the cliff with this guy. I live in a very liberal city and I mean his followers were in a cultic trance with their all out devotion to this guy.
All during the Primary Bernie played footsie with Hillary. He was cheated out of the Primary and said nothing. Then he drops out, and like a good socialist, he buys a $6 million waterfront home and the snowflakes still don’t bat an eye in their devotion to him. Wow.
Pithy remarks Burnout.
Give it a rest Bernardo!
Bernie’s doing the typical ‘liberal’ BS - he’s imposing his ideas rather than actually listening to those who see the world differently. It works in our favor so ‘go for it Bernie’ - keep forcing the world into your mold... You Bernie, have the power to get people to agree with you to your face - but NOT when they’re away from you. What a blunder.
These Democrats remind me barnacles on the underbelly of a ship. Hopefully Conservatives will scrape them off in 2018.
LOL!! Decrepit old prick. He need a new lake house?
I’m not thinking much of Jill Stein, either.
He wants another lake house.
Bernie- Please contact a Republican named Vaughn in District 15 in Clark County, Nevada.
He has direct proof of voter fraud in Clark County. He went on Las Vegas TV with this proof.
Be my guest-—go call him a liar.
IF you are as strong a person in your convictions as you claim-—be man enough to contact Mr Vaughn. IOW- Pujt your money where your big mouth is, Bernie.
I hope the party stays with Hillary and Bernie.
That will shut out any young guns from making it to the front of the line.
Whoo and Hooo.
The fraud was all on Hitlery’s side.
Burnout Bernie is senile.
Piss ant trying to stop the elephant. Good luck with that, azzhole.
Didn’t Bernie get a house and an airplane out of the deal
with Hillary to go away? Anyone know?
Socialism will be a hard sell in four years.
I suggest that everybody just relax and watch the Bad Lip
Reading version of Bernie’s inspiring Democratic
Convention speech. He has never been more awesome or
understandable.
