Bernie Sanders Jokes About Kitchen Sink

[Donkees]

5. Kitchen sink...

“everything but the kitchen sink” is defined as “everything imaginable.” I define the kitchen-sink strategy as “a plan to accuse an opponent of policy flip-flops; previous bloopers; shady associations; pictures wearing costumes; and all shocks that political flesh is heir to, in hopes of provoking unseemly fury.”

But why the kitchen sink? Why not other heavy but available items like the office desk, the bedroom chifforobe, the bathroom tub? The lexicographer Eric Partridge thought it came from armed-forces slang, used about intense bombardment. He offered a 1948 citation in his unconventional dictionary: “They chucked everything at us except, or including, the kitchen sink.”

So Bernie pretended the sink was landing on him, but it was invisible...so he wasn't hurt by her accusations
