Bernie Sanders rips into Donald Trump: ‘Everybody knows this man cannot stop lying’

[Uncle Joe]

(snip)

“For a start, we should take Mr. Trump’s words with a grain of salt,” Sanders began. “Because I think almost everybody knows, this man cannot stop lying about anything. To call me a communist is a lie. To talk about our organization, our campaign, disrupting his meeting is a lie,”

Sanders went on to state unequivocally that his campaign has nothing to do with the protests.

Sanders then enlisted comments made by Trump’s GOP rivals to criticize him over the violence at his rallies.

“Even his Republican colleagues make this point,” Sanders continued. “His language, his intonations, when you talk about carrying people out in stretchers, you see at his rallies people sucker-punched, folks kick people when they’re down. This is a man who keeps implying violence, and then you end up getting what you see.”

“I think that he, in fact, has got to tell his supporters that in the United States of America we don’t go beating up people, that people have a right to peacefully protest, and I hope that becomes the tone of his campaign.”

1. Has Hillary denounced her "old friend's" tactics yet?

2. Here you go

Hillary Clinton draws criticism for her response to violence at Trump’s Chicago rally

Trump was never mentioned in the statement itself. And unlike some of Trump’s Republican rivals, who laid the blame for inciting violence squarely on his shoulders, Clinton avoided addressing Trump’s role at all.

The decision left some puzzled.

“Problematic use of Charleston. Why is racial healing always dependent on black forgiveness?” noted Chad Williams, chair of African and Afro-American studies at Brandeis University.

“Clinton’s response seems more concerned about the fact that protesters fought back than with the racism and nativism of Trump’s rallies,” added Eddie S. Glaude Jr., a professor of African-American studies at Princeton University.

Later on Saturday, Hillary did address her criticism of Trump specifically which is also on the link, I believe she just needed some political encouragement.

9. Yelling lies cannot beat whispering the truth.

10. Clinton's only objective in this is how to use it as a smear against Bernie

It is difficult, but her brain trust will find a way to create slime.

11. Right on Bernie! Trump IS a pathological liar!

I have a good friend who is a pathological liar. He is very entertaining, and quite the BS artist. But would I want him for President or, really, anything requiring adult responsibility? Not in a million years!

12. And for any of our Republican friends who doubt that:

We can discuss it over a Trump steak and a glass of Trump wine, at Trump University.

Wearing a "made in America" Trump tie, of course.
