Senator Bernie Sanders took to the Senate floor on Wednesday to launch an attack on Donald Trump by using a blow-up of one of the president-elects own tweets.
The Vermont independent called out Trump on his plans for Medicare and Medicaid benefits, pointing out Trumps promise that there would be no cuts to the social safety net.
The May, 2015 tweet states: I was the first & only potential GOP candidate to state there will be no cuts to Social Security, Medicare & Medicaid. Huckabee copied me.
Millions of people voted for him on the belief that he would keep his word, Sanders told the cameras, referring to Trumps promises during the 2016 campaign.

(52 posts)He is a true democrat if there ever was one. Look at the DNC how corrupt why would he want to be a part of that Now if Keith Ellison is taking over it is a different ball game.

(3,839 posts)So much for the rule of bashing liberals and progressives on DU. Considering he caucuses with the Democrats, why do you despise him so much?

Anyone can do that. Come up with a solution. Pointing out lies and hypocrisy isn't good enough now.

(19,993 posts)Perhaps a small army of congressional aides is working overtime behind the scenes to gather up the tweets and make posters for use on the Senate floor.

(1,702 posts)His historical tweets will be a gold mine. I hope someone with IT know how screen saves them all and uses them to confront him every time he changes position. What Bernie did was brilliant. In your face words and visual!! I'm sure tRUMP will still deny he tweeted them but they will be visual and the media will pick them up. Please someone with IT knowledge figure out how to preserve his tweets.
