Will Bernie reply? Popcorn please!
Who would like for Pelosi the Mummy to “tear into them”. What a frightening threat, Pelosi is a cannibal.
That is really funny. Two of the biggest slime bags in Washington mad at each other. Pelosi doesn’t respect Sanders!
Bernie Sanders fires back at Pelosi as he reveals why voters backed Trump in rebuke to Dem matriarch
Senator Bernie Sanders has clapped back at former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi after she said she didn’t ‘respect’ his criticism of the Democratic Party for ignoring the working class.
The independent from Vermont appeared on CNN’s State of the Union and NBC’s Meet the Press on Sunday to double down on why he believes Kamala Harris lost to Donald Trump.
Sanders, 83, sounded off his usual laundry list of policies that he thinks Harris either didn’t emphasize or support at all.
These stances include raising the minimum wage, raising taxes on the ultra-wealthy, moving to a universal health care system and expanding social security.
During the NBC interview, Meet the Press host Kristen Welker played a clip of Pelosi telling The New York Times’ ‘The Interview Podcast’ on Saturday, ‘I don’t respect [Sanders] saying that the Democratic Party has abandoned the working class families. That’s where we are.’
‘Nancy is a friend of mine,’ Sanders responded on the air.
‘But here is the reality: in the Senate in the last two years, we have not even brought forth legislation to raise the minimum wage to a living wage despite the fact that some 20 million people in this country are working for less than $15 an hour.’
Sanders’ criticism was also called into question on State of the Union, where host Dana Bash pointed out: ‘But what the voters supported is a man who would never do any of what you just said. I mean, not even close.’
‘But what that man named Donald Trump did do is he said, “I feel your pain. I know that you’re hurting, and I have an explanation,”’ argued the two-time presidential candidate, once in 2016 and again in 2020.
