There is a Trump Supporter worried about Mr. Trump's money...

That was a perfect response.




Sanders, speaking at a campaign stop at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst, was making his usual campaign pitch about the disparity of wealth in the American economy when a large, bald man in a black shirt began shouting at him.

Sanders tried to raise his voice over the man multiple times, before addressing him directly.

"Here's a supporter worried about Mr. Trump's money," Sanders said.

The crowd at the event booed the man. Then, in a scene reminiscent of many Trump rallies interrupted by protests, they chanted "Ber-nie! Ber-nie! Ber-nie!" drowning out the man's words.

The heckler was eventually led out of the event by campaign staff, pumping his fist and smiling at the jeers.

Sanders, speaking with the most passion he showed during the event, used the interruption to send a message to Trump supporters in general.
