Chuck Todd Cracks Wise About Not Saying 'Bernie Bros': 'What Do We Call Them, Bernie Siblings?'

Mediaite

By Tommy Christopher Dec 17th, 2019, 7:21 pm

MSNBC host Chuck Todd caught himself using an unfavored term for supporters of Independent Vermont Senator and Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders, and joked about several alternatives to avoid the ire of said supporters.

On Tuesday night’s edition of MSNBC’s MTP Daily, Todd led a panel discussion on the state of the 2020 Democratic presidential primary race.

Todd noted that while Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren has “stabilized” in poling after a lengthy slide into third place, Sanders has “settled” into the strong second place that he held for a long time before his heart attack, and has regained since then.

But Todd, waxing poorly poetic, said “I have a feeling that’s his ceiling,” and noted that Sanders and Warren have yet to make President Donald Trump the focus of attack ads like former Vice President Joe Biden and South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg have.

who are a little violent, a little right wing and hold racist and sexist views. At least, that was my understanding. Regular Sanders supporters are just supporters or "Berners."
