Bernie Sanders: Trump 'in bed' with Netanyahu, GOP 'far worse' for Gaza

Senator Bernie Sanders will be the first to tell you that he has differences of opinion with how the Biden-Harris administration has handled the war in Gaza, but he has a simple message for people who are still thinking of sitting out this election or casting a protest vote for a third-party candidate this year: “Please don’t do that.” He tells Ali Velshi that Donald Trump and the Republicans are “far, far worse” for the country on many issues, including the war in Gaza. “Trump and Netanyahu are both right-wing extremists,” he says. “They’re in bed together.” Meanwhile, as Elon Musk takes on a central role in Trump’s campaign, Sen. Sanders pulls the focus back on the Supreme Court’s controversial Citizens United ruling. “What you are seeing is a result of Citizens United. It’s really the undermining of American democracy in a way that we have never seen.”

Love you Bernie. We need people like you in government.

Trump comment on Liz Chenny was a horrific comment. He could have used anyone else as an example. He has no idea how women both democrats an republicans feel about her. She has integerity honesty an a super hero for our country an constution. Trump will feel the sting from those comments. She is a warrior i respect. An i am a life long democrat.

Bernie is the only one who will speak out on the horrible treatment of Gaza.

I wish Bernie were our president, especially because of the situation in Gaza. But now we need to decide if we are going to become a fascist country or not. Thats the question right now and I think most people supporting Gaza in this country dont want that. Trump will also help Israel, he doesnt care about Gaza. VOTE FOR HARRIS 💙

Trump would build a Resort Hotel on the ruins of Gaza.

Thank you, Ali Velshi, for giving Bernie the 🎤 😊 You are both Americans who love our country, & I want to see FDR Democracy 2.0, & join the rest of the modern world & finally have FDR's 2nd Bill of Rights, that apply to everyone. Education in the importance of Democracies working ⚒ together, we can move to a Sustainable environment, and heal our Mother Earth 🌎 😊

Citizens United. But how do we get it out if the Supreme Court is run by jerks?

[KarenDuncan-os]

I was advised to diversify my portfolio among several assets such as stocks and bonds since this can protect my portfolio for retirement. I'm seeking to invest $200K across markets but don't know where to start.

[CommaCam]

Thank you Bernie. This isn't the year to mess around with counterproductive protest votes.

[JusticeGlobal]

I agree with Senator Sanders and that's why Americans must choose VP Harris who could be a better choice for both Palestine and people of color. Trump will be a horrendous disaster and the worst nightmare for America and the world.
