Please SNL don't let this be a missed opportunity for a sketch, "Invite Bernie and his gavel for Thanksgiving peace in your family. " ❤❤❤ Bernie ❤❤❤

Bernie acting like the only adult in that room. He had to stop them. He should’ve booted that jerk out.

"You tweeted at me five times."

That's it? Seriously? You brought a twitter argument to the Senate floor? This is the party that calls Democrats snowflakes???

[judykinsman]

Thank you as usual Bernie for being the grownup in the room.

[justaguy]

Bernie being the grownup in the room full of misfit teens.

[lorienish]

Thank you Bernie ... this is our Republican Senators folks .... WTF

[AmarieH]

Yes, Congress has a lot of older members, but can we at least acknowledge that we NEED some adults in the room with wisdom & the ability to stay on the issues without devolving into fist fighting?🤷🏼‍♀️ TY Senator Sanders.

The Republicans are always quick to call others thugs but are the ones who exhibit that behavior! This was horrible for a Senator to act this way in a hearing! A damn embarrassment

[bobmetzger]

Love Bernie. The Republicans continue to show their true colors.

This is what happens when an unqualified person becomes Senator... This is such disgusting behavior. This kind of behavior would have sent any child to the principal's office, but this clown goes unaccountable in the Senate. This should be an automatic censure

[albertweskersprodigy]

He needs to be expelled from the Senate. That's outrageous

[heidiweber]

Thanks Bernie. Once again. A class act. Thanks again for stopping this clown.

What an embarrassment to the US Senate... 🤦‍♂🤡

[ryanmalone]

GOP getting clowned. How ridiculous they are.

[patrickirishcharm]

The Republicans have lost their mind . Thank you Bernie for reminding everyone that they are there to work for the American people not to settle a score . God Bless Bernie Sanders I love that man ! 💙💙💙

[sarahdzeima]

"You are a United States Senator. Sit down!" Talk about embarrassing yourself... when Grandpa Bernie has to treat you like a child...

[mrmikes]

Thease Replublicans are totally out of control. At the Federal and State level. We are paying this GOP Senator $277, 000 a year to act like a 14 year boy that has anger issues trying to fight a witness because the witness wrote something and hurt the Senator feelings.

[nexulsejuct]

This is why I, a conservative man, refuse to vote Republican. This is down right disgraceful. We deserve some professional, educated, and respectful representatives. And we don't. Drain the swamp? Start it with yourselves first. It's embarrassing.

I have to give it to Bernie. He's right. We got enough contempt for congress. We don't need it worse. Good on you, Mr. Sanders.

[heyfromdiana]

Bernie is the father in the front of these kids

[edutainme]

So proud of Bernie 🙂
What the hell is wrong with Republican voters to elect someone like this as their Senator.
