Sen. Bernie Sanders slams Trump as 'pathological liar'



Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., slammed President Donald Trump as a “pathological liar” on Friday and said he’d heard nothing in intelligence briefings that he’d been present for that suggested a top Iranian commander killed by U.S. forces had been planning imminent attacks.

Sanders, however, contended Friday that he sat in a classified intelligence briefing the day before last week's strike on Soleimani, and added, “We had all of the top-ranking intelligence people, military people, and not one word of that was mentioned.”

Democrats came away from the administration's classified briefings this week on the drone attack against Soleimani saying they hadn’t heard anything that suggested there was intelligence that showed Soleimani posed an imminent threat to the U.S.

Sanders refused to praise Trump for the decision to take out Soleimani, saying, ”When you assassinate a high-ranking official of a foreign government, you unleash anarchy.”

Every candidate has done the same.

At least it’s the correct enemy he’s slamming.

Part of what makes Sanders such a good critic of trump is Sanders can call trump out for al the progressive things Trump promised to do but then did a 180 on. Other candidates cant' really do that with the same credibility.

But I'm still happy to hear it. It can't be said enough in my opinion. And of course I'm happy when any of our other candidates including Joe says it.
