15. He is responding to being lied about.

He is doing so much more politely than I would. He voted in favor of a bill that would have bailed out the auto-industry, he voted against a later bill that included that, but also was intended to bail out wall street. No, he didn't vote against bailing out the auto-industry, he voted against bailing out wall street and the crooks that crashed our economy.

Also, all that stuff about pointing and finger wagging that some were complaining about... Clinton is doing some pretty serious finger shaking/pointing there. "Tell the whole story Senator!" He was trying to tell the whole story.

Context matters. If this was in a different context I might say Sanders was being rude - but he isn't. Given the conversation on stage he is being much more polite than she deserves. As for the charges of sexism... I really don't get it.
