'I wrote the damn bill': Bernie Sanders dunks on Tim Ryan, CNN during second Democratic debates [View all]

(snip)

He was compared to the Incredible Hulk, professional wrestlers and Godzilla, and called "straight gangsta" by people watching his debate performance.

Ohio Rep. Tim Ryan replied, "You don't know that. You don't know that."

That's when Sanders paused in his response to rebut Ryan's response. "I do know. I wrote the damn bill," Sanders said emphatically before continuing his answer.

Ryan wore a blank stare on his face as the crowd erupted in a cheer that is usually heard when someone gets dunked on during a basketball game.
