Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., got up during a pre-taped ABC "This Week" interview that aired Sunday, and accused Jonathan Karl of asking a "nonsense" question about whether Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., should run for Senate.
Right after calling Ocasio-Cortez "extraordinary," Sanders would not answer a question about whether he would like to see her in the Senate. Speculation has ramped up about AOC challenging Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer in a primary after Schumer supported a government funding bill to avoid a partial shutdown.
"Right now, we have, as I said, just a whole lot of people in the Congress. OK, Jonathan. Thanks," Sanders said as he got up from his seat.
Karl told the senator that he had one more question for him.
"Well, I ask you – you know, you want to do nonsense, do nonsense. No, I don't want to talk about inside the Beltway stuff. I got 32,000 people," Sanders said, referencing the crowd that gathered Friday in Denver for an event with AOC.
Karl convinced Sanders to come back and sit down.
"Well, fine. But I don't want to talk about this. What was the last question?" Sanders asked.
Karl then asked about Sanders' future in politics.
"Right now, I am very proud that the people of the state of Vermont sent me back to the Senate with 63% of the vote," Sander said. "Right now I'm Vermont's senator. That's what I do, and I'm very happy to do it. I am 83 years of age, so. And I'm tired."

And that was considered a good thing?
Or “when was the last time you had a real job?”
Should have asked about where AOC got her car........
He is not as cognitively impaired as Joe Biden but he still qualifies as the stereotypical nasty, selfish, crabby old man.
I’m 78.5 so I can say that. Sweet natured and lovable as I am personally.
I’d rather have you as prez or senator.
Seth Rich cared more about Bernies career than Bernie did. However Bernie cares about AOCs career, got it.
Willing to be bought for the price of a Vermont Lake House and a coverup for his wife’s questionable College money activities.
Aw, shucks. Thanks.
The Burn should be minority leader.
But only until 100. Then, you have to retire.
I like “Burn.” Looks like “bum.”
Her real initials are CBW - commie bartender whore.
‘Tis amazing to see the talents that dummies have to make millions when they have no demonstrable ability to do anything useful in life.
All it takes is to run for political office.
Or act.
Interesting.
> Commies hate certain questions like - how many mansions do you really need? <
Or, why did you write a rape fantasy?
(Imagine if a Republican would have done anything like that!)
Details in the link. Warning: Some sick stuff there.

I think Comrade Bernie sees her as his successor to unapologetic hard line socialism.
Saw her listed as “AholeC” elsewhere.
**I think Comrade Bernie sees her as his successor to unapologetic hard line socialism.**
She needs to win Chuckie’s 6 year senate seat before her butt gets too big.
If Chuckie quits Trump is gonna tell him to take Durbin with him. Any other has-ben’s ready to go. Might as well be on a roll.
Bernie should retire. With all his hand gestures, he’d make a great 3rd base coach
Uh, oh. The Bernster is starting to crack -
Sanders recognizes Trump’s efforts on border, fentanyl: ‘Nobody thinks illegal immigration is appropriate’
AOC should go back to being a bartender at a taqueria!
