Bernie Sanders Gives Wall Street Journal Reporter The Best Tongue-Lashing You’ve Ever Seen

Bernie Sanders Gives Wall Street Journal Reporter The Best Tongue-Lashing You’ve Ever Seen



A reporter for the Wall Street Journal tried his best to goad Bernie Sanders into a war with Hillary Clinton shortly after he finished speaking to a crowd of over 2,000 people on Sunday. The response this poor reporter received was nothing short of brilliant. Not only did Bernie not take the bait, but he did a fantastic job of setting the tone while at the same time re-framing the discussion about topics that really matter.

“The issue I want to be talking about is the collapse of the American middle class. Are you guys gonna write about that?”

With heartfelt speeches like this, Sanders is only going to pick up more steam. Right now 53 percent of Democrats say they want someone other than Hillary. This more than likely reflects voters desires for something other than the status quo. Bernie provides that. And, the people showing up to his crowds are just more evidence to this. His message is resonating with people. When the race was just six weeks in, he was already drawing larger crowds than any other candidate in the race, Democrat or Republican.

Taking this tool to task for his sycophantic idiocy on behalf of the plutocratic oligarchs bleeding this nation of its wealth and power.

I just loved the fight in him. I wished that he could've cleaned up his act. A lost to our party.

I think Hillary is in deep, deep do-do when the debates start. When they are compared side-by-side at the debates she is going look quite bad IMO. No wonder the DNC is trying to limit the exposure.
