In an interview, Monday night on NBCs 'Late Night with Seth Meyers,' Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) warned that Democrats' focus on the Russian scandal was in danger of eclipsing more "bread and butter issues" for the party.
SEN. BERNIE SANDERS: We have got to focus on the bread and butter issues that mean so much to ordinary Americans.
Americans are not staying up every day worrying about Russias interference in our election. Theyre wondering how theyre going to send their kids to college. Theyre wondering how theyre going to be able to pay the rent. They are worried about whether they can afford health care. Theyre worried about the income they make-- if it is enough to put food on the table. We are the wealthiest country in the history of the world. And our job is to create an economy that works for all of us and not just the 1 percent. And those are issues that we absolutely cannot afford to lose sight of.
