In response to criticism for publicly calling President Trump a liar, Sen. Bernie Sanders responds on how should he or others react when the president habitually says things that are obviously untrue.

I find it interesting that Ms. Phillips did not take issue with my facts. Her complaint appears to be that it is improper for a United States senator to state the obvious. And that is that we have a president who either lies intentionally or, even more frighteningly, does not know the difference between lies and truth.

Excellent response Bernie. Thank god there are some with a backbone in Congress, willing to correct the record when we have a president who cannot distinguish fact from fiction, whether deliberate or out of cluelessness.

I like Sanders but being blindly partisan is not his strong suit.

I can't see where he's being particularly partisan here. He respects differences in opinion on policy. He's talking about the danger of having a POTUS who repeatedly states easily documented falsehoods.

It's like the boy who cried wolf. If he habitually lies, will anyone other than his base of true believers believe him in a real emergency?

President Bonkers' supporters think his tweets are a laugh riot.
But as others have said, without credibility he weakens the office, our nation and the ability for citizens to believe him when something BIG happens, like an international crisis.

He backed a candidate that both cheated him and does the same.

I'm not here to defend Trump.

As oppose to things that are not true but not so obvious and cannot be proven, which is basically what all politicians do?

Obama is no longer the president and on top of it Obama didn't just blatantly Tweet stuff with no merit.
