I don't know him well, but I totally agree with what he said in that video...

I'm seeing where Bernie supporters are none too pleased with Warren right now.

Politics over principles. That's what people hate.

You know very well that he would have been demonized as a sexist pig and gun nut if he had voted against the crime bill. Now he is demonized as a hypocrite liar instead. Its gutter politics for the uninformed.

You know, I AM certain that you are not looking at all Hillary's votes 'in context'. You have excuse after excuse for Bernie and 100% condemnation for Hillary even if they voted the same.


It's ok for YOU to play 'gutter politics' but no one dare criticize the Knighted Sanders.


So - I can't take you seriously anymore. No one man is perfect. Not now, not ever. And you want me to believe that Bernie is 100% completely totally self-sacrificing for his ideals.
