Bill Clinton Makes Fun Of Bernie Sanders Supporters

[kaleckim]

165. Garbage

My head hurts. Actually, if you read the links, Sanders HAS accomplished more. My god, did you read what your links showed?

From your first link, her "accomplishments" include a speech in China, her role in killing bin Laden (which was what exactly?), and her activities at the State Department regarding climate change (funny that they didn't mention her role in spreading fracking worldwide). How about comparing that to her Iraq War vote (she supported the war years after it started, just thought that Bush's post war planning was bad), Syria and Libya? Disasters, which Obama even now admits. The other thing they mentioned was the sanctions against Iran. Can you explain how that constitutes an accomplishment?

Your second link doesn't have accomplishments, they talk about her "fighting" for this or that, introducing or writing legislation. Please, post a couple highlights to prove me wrong.

Your third link talks about her academic accomplishments, that fact that she traveled to 79 countries (wow), the fact that she was first lady of Arkansas, committees that she served on, they talk about how she is an author and credit HER for getting money for 9/11 victims. My god, please, go to the Google some more.

If you want to play this silly game though (by the way, him voting against Iraq, NAFTA and countless other things are accomplishments):

From 1995 to 2007, Sanders passed 17 amendments by a recorded roll call vote — more than any other member in the House.

Ohio Democrat James Traficant came in second with 16 roll call amendments, but he served five less years than Sanders after being indicted on several corruption charges in 2002 and then expelled from Congress..."There are so few members with large numbers of substantive and successful amendments," he said. "Sanders and Traficant were exceptions to that rule." In comparison, Hillary Clinton passed zero roll call amendments during her tenure as a senator from New York from 2001-09.

...A campaign ad for Sander said, "Bernie Sanders passed more roll call amendments in a Republican Congress than any other member."

That’s a very specific way of slicing and dicing Sanders’ effectiveness as a lawmaker, but it’s accurate. From 1995 to 2007, when Republicans controlled Congress, Sanders passed the most roll call amendments (17) out of anyone in the House of Representatives.

We rate his claim True.
