(30,099 posts)she kept it up anyway, he finally cuts her off.
Why is this individual even looking for this question on the internet and why did
she not check her sources...she did not blame staff, she appears to take responsibility
for it. She also has interviewed Bernie in the past, never asked him this before..so
why now?
Diane Rehm: Senator, you have dual citizenship with Israel.
Bernie Sanders: Well, no I do not have dual citizenship with Israel. I'm an American. I don't know where that question came from. I am an American citizen, and I have visited Israel on a couple of occasions. No, I'm an American citizen, period.
Rehm: I understand from a list we have gotten that you were on that list.
Sanders: No.
Rehm: Forgive me if that is
Sanders: That's some of the nonsense that goes on in the internet. But that is absolutely not true.
Rehm: Interesting. Are there members of Congress who do have dual citizenship or is that part of the fable?
