Joe Biden blasts Bernie Sanders over health care, gun control, and his supporters' online behavior

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Former Vice President Joe Biden zeroed in this weekend on one of his top competitors, who many consider to have eclipsed him as the Democratic presidential frontrunner.

In an interview set to air on NBC's Meet the Press on Sunday, Biden waded into a controversy surrounding Sanders supporters who have been accused of threatening members of Nevada's Culinary Workers Union for not backing Sanders' Medicare-for-all proposal. Biden said Sanders isn't necessarily directly responsible for such behavior, but he's not sure he's done enough to put a stop to it, either.

Biden also criticized Sanders' policy proposals, arguing that while the senator has talked about Medicare-for-all for 35 years, he has nothing to show for it. Biden said people, like those in the Culinary Workers Union, have "broken their necks" to procure their current insurance, and he's not sure why Sanders wants to force them to give it up.

And on Saturday evening, the former vice president put Sanders' 2005 vote to exempt gun manufacturers from liability in shootings on blast. He didn't name Sanders outright, but he called out "some of the people running for office" who voted for the exemption. Sanders, for what it's worth, has since changed his position on the matter.

1. "I'm going to take away your current health coverage..." sounds like a winner to me nt

2. Joe's desperate strategy here is understandable given that Bernie has eclipsed Joe in the polls...

and has Joe "on the ropes." Bernie is only a few more primary victories away from ending Joe's campaign... then Bernie can turn his full attention to Mike Bloomberg and dispatch with him as well.


Bernie/Elizabeth or Elizabeth/Bernie 2020!!
Either way, they're stronger together & can't be bought!!
Jump on the Bernie Bandwagon & join the revolution!!

3. And Joe is one of the reasons

That after 30 years we still don’t have MFA.
And that we still have to fight the false narratives of the insurance industry.
And that we have hundreds of thousands of people die each year because of the fear mongering.

4. I remember it clearly

He walk to the center of the Senate and tried to kill the ACA. No that’s not right- it was the repukes...he help create the ACA.

Joe has delivered. Revolution vs. Forward Progress. I am with Forward Progress or go ahead vote Bernie to bring the revolution sooner with 4 more years of MF45.

Do I remember it correct that Bernie is a slave to the dairy industry? He’s a damn Millionaire!

7. I don't understand how you came to your conclusion.

How did Biden single-handedly prevent MFA? Bernie Sanders has been in Washington for 30 plus years, if he can magically put in place a full rework of our healthcare system, why is it that he has not been able to do one inch of that during 30 plus years in Washington?
