He's entertaining the idea that this investigation is a partisan witch hunt and that sucks. bettyellen May 2017 #7

No he's not. In the interview he's saying we shouldn't turn it into a partisan issue. beam me up scottie May 2017 #13

yeah I watched it and am pissed he implied Dems would do that, while the GOP ALREADY HAS BEEN MAKING bettyellen May 2017 #15

Why? Politicians can turn anything into a partisan issue if they want to. beam me up scottie May 2017 #17

he didnt say a damn thing about Republicans making it partisan, only that "Dem's can't". But it was bettyellen May 2017 #24

Oh please. He was asked how to get Republicans on board and he said by not politicizing it. beam me up scottie May 2017 #26

It is possible for Bernie to say some fine things AND ALSO say something WRONG. pnwmom May 2017 #3

No, because it can't be wrong if Bernie says it BainsBane May 2017 #87

Did you watch the interview? For the last time Bernie did NOT SAY THAT. beam me up scottie May 2017 #4

Unfortunately people seem to read twitter and think oh yeah. That's a fact. Especially Nanjeanne May 2017 #8

Twitter users often misquote politicians to generate clicks. beam me up scottie May 2017 #11

Yeah. Twitter is fun but one has to use a portion of ones brain to figure out Nanjeanne May 2017 #16

I'm amazed by how many people don't actually watch imbedded videos. beam me up scottie May 2017 #18

Yet you keep pushing your own false narrative that people didn't watch it, R B Garr May 2017 #22

He did not call Republicans to task for their current spin politicizing the issue. He gives them bettyellen May 2017 #19

He wasn't asked which party was politicizing it, he was asked how to get Republicans on board. beam me up scottie May 2017 #20

yet he pointed fingers at Dems only. Victim blaming bullshit. bettyellen May 2017 #25

Except he didn't say they were politicizing it. He said "WE shouldn't". As in all senators beam me up scottie May 2017 #28

Since he didn't say what was attributed to him he didn't do anything wrong. beam me up scottie May 2017 #34

Of course he didn't do anything wrong. He never does! n/t kcr May 2017 #67

It sounds like Bernie maybe didn't watch the "video" because he doesn't realize R B Garr May 2017 #33

Exactly! But it's a new narrative and those can be hard for old dogs. bettyellen May 2017 #39

Yep. JTFrog May 2017 #54

"It may turn out president..was not colluding with the Russians" Cha May 2017 #61

But let's give him the benefit of the doubt in the same sentence where I scold Dems.... bettyellen May 2017 #62

Well, he's wrong so that's not placing Cha May 2017 #72

If you claim there's a such huge difference, maybe you should explain what it is. kcr May 2017 #63

You do not understand the difference between 'are, and 'should?' I don't believe it. pangaia May 2017 #78

What I don't get is why what Dems should or should not do is always first out of his mouth? brush May 2017 #80

He said that people don't trust Democrats and they don't trust Republicans. R B Garr May 2017 #85
