Evidently he doesn't care for Sanders' positions on gun control, including his vote against the 1993 Brady Bill that established national background checks, and for another bill that protects gun companies from lawsuits if their products are used in crimes. Those votes are facts.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
