and as I said, I am sure Bernie's greeting was courteous/kind.

I am not sure how they happened to run into each other - not sure any facts have come out about the specifics there.

Yes, by the Pope's own account. Sanders pulls a Kim Davis and didn't even get a photo. KittyWampus Apr 2016 #1

Yes, I heard he hid under the table and jumped out and shouted "Boo!" when the Pope walked by Bjorn Against Apr 2016 #11
No. There are true, easily verifiable accounts. And there are liars. They're easily distinguished. DisgustipatedinCA Apr 2016 #14
Yes. See the quotes from this article. IamMab Apr 2016 #17
So greeting somebody is the same as ambushing them now? Bjorn Against Apr 2016 #25
The Pope greeted Sanders, because Sanders ambushed the Pope. As Francis says, "common courtesy." IamMab Apr 2016 #26
So when the Pope says "he had the kindness to greet me" you interpret that as a lack of manners? Bjorn Against Apr 2016 #27
greeted him with a handshake - nothing more - no verbal greeting DrDan Apr 2016 #31

Nnnnnnnnnnope. cherokeeprogressive Apr 2016 #23
yep - if the Pope is to be believed - and I think he is DrDan Apr 2016 #29
So you agree with the Pope that Bernie greeted him out of kindness Bjorn Against Apr 2016 #32
"kindness"? don't remember that behavior being mentioned with respect to this meeting DrDan Apr 2016 #33
You must not have read the Pope's words then Bjorn Against Apr 2016 #34
I had not seen that particular quote - I remember "courtesy" DrDan Apr 2016 #35
Who cares what the specifics are? It was clearly not an ambush. Bjorn Against Apr 2016 #36
I'll wait for a reliable source, if you don't mind DrDan Apr 2016 #37
You mean one of those "reliable sources" that told you that Bernie invited himself to the Vatican? Bjorn Against Apr 2016 #39
it certainly won't be any of those who claimed Bernie was the headliner or the ones DrDan Apr 2016 #41
