He should accurately state that Democrats were victimized by the global oligarchs he likes to rail against, but he doesn't mention the oligarchs. He is not helping by saying people don't trust Democrats -- who could disagree with not wanting Democrats attacked for no reason?!

Did you not watch the whole video? Nevernose May 2017 #1

We are talking about a crisis of epic proportions right now- normalizing it and pretending it is bettyellen May 2017 #2

You didn't watch the video either? Nevernose May 2017 #5

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

And Republicans need to be on board before there can even be a legitimate investigation. alarimer May 2017 #66

Bernie could say water was wet and some people would be outraged. beam me up scottie May 2017 #70

Oh please, indeed. It's outrageous because it assumes it's necessary. kcr May 2017 #69

Without them, it IS purely partisan, even if it is justified. alarimer May 2017 #71

IT'S NOT BLUE GODDAMIT!!!!!!11! IT'S AZURE!!!11!! QC May 2017 #74

Exactly, and to make it worse he lumps Democrats in with Republicans R B Garr May 2017 #21

It's not unifying, that lumping us w the GOP.... and I think it's shitty he bettyellen May 2017 #86

If you did indeed wath it, you must not have done so very carefully. n/t QC May 2017 #37

Rude excuses for Dem bashing nonsense. Gee thanks! bettyellen May 2017 #40

Could you just give us the time stamp of those horrifying remarks? QC May 2017 #47

It's inherently partisan treestar May 2017 #84

It is partisan...it began with a partisan stealing of the election and the only way it will be Demsrule86 May 2017 #68

I'm starting to think that villianizing the DNC and Hillary herself gives some reason to be less bettyellen May 2017 #82

I agree with you...am sick of the attacks on the Dem Party...from folks who probably never vote Demsrule86 May 2017 #83

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

Yeah, I used to marvel at how freepers would believe absolutely anything QC May 2017 #48

Yep. Reminds me of that Monty Python skit. beam me up scottie May 2017 #49

lol. unbelievable eh? m-lekktor May 2017 #10

I wish. Even though the tweet has been debunked it'll probably keep getting repeated. beam me up scottie May 2017 #12

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

no he's suggesting we would. without saying ANYTHING about how republicans ARE. I know he's trying bettyellen May 2017 #29

LOL! No he's not, he's suggesting "WE" shouldn't politicize the issue. beam me up scottie May 2017 #30

i dont need you to be outraged. just wish this bout of foot in mouth disease would end. bettyellen May 2017 #31

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

I think if Dems thought playing nice was the best strategy he'd say the opposite at this point bettyellen May 2017 #73

"Democrats should stop politicizing this is issue. It may turn out president...was not colluding Cha May 2017 #51

He did not say Democrats "should stop" politicizing this issue. Tatiana May 2017 #55

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
