Less than two years ago, Sanders praised Corbyn for sharing his goals and views. This is an exchange between Bernie Sanders and Jeremy Corbyn:

"What has impressed me -- and there is a real similarity between what he has done and what I have done -- he has taken on the establishment of the Labour party and gone to the grassroots. And he has tried to transform that party and take on a lot of establishment opposition.

"That is exactly what's taking place in the United States and what I'm trying to do with the Democratic Party," he continued.
