Bernie Sanders Takes On The GOP Wingnut Debate On Twitter

By Heather — September 17, 2015

Sen. Bernie Sanders took on the lie-fest that was the CNN Republican presidential debate and did a better job than some of the moderators with calling B.S. on the talking points being spewed by the candidates this Wednesday.

Sadly it does not appear that any of the moderators were reading his timeline while the "debate," and I use that term loosely, was going on.

Here are some of his greatest hits from his Twitter feed.

Rubio knows California has a drought. Will he have the courage to connect that to climate change or reject the science? #DebateWithBernie

30mil Americans have no health insurance. Even more underinsured. And Trump wants to get rid of Obamacare. Really? #DebateWithBernie

Trump. What a pleasant and humble person. Can't stop saying kind and generous things about his fellow Republicans. #DebateWithBernie

Kasich: "Let's get to issues." How about income inequality, climate change and childhood poverty? Think they'll discuss? #DebateWithBernie

Now we're really getting to the Republican talking points. More money for war and confrontation. #DebateWithBernie

Gee. How come these guys are not talking about the great "success" of Bush's foreign policy and the war in Iraq? #DebateWithBernie

War, war, war. When do we get to their other major priority: tax breaks for billionaires? #DebateWithBernie

Does anybody on the stage believe that our gay brothers and sisters have the same rights as the rest of us? Anybody? #DebateWithBernie

Kasich. You don't know ANYBODY who doesn't think we should defund Planned Parenthood? Really? You apparently don't know the American people.

Does anyone on that stage believe the women of this country have the right to control their own bodies? Anyone? #DebateWithBernie

Waiting, waiting, waiting. Will we hear anything about racial justice, income inequality or making college affordable? #DebateWithBernie

— Bernie Sanders (@BernieSanders) September 17, 2015

Rich get richer. Everyone else gets poorer. And all these guys can talk about is war and defunding Planned Parenthood. #DebateWithBernie

— Bernie Sanders (@BernieSanders) September 17, 2015

Anyone on the stage, maybe just maybe, think we might want to pass comprehensive immigration reform and a path toward citizenship? Anyone?

Vast majority understand we need to raise the minimum wage to a living wage. Is there any R who agrees? Will they discuss? #DebateWithBernie

— Bernie Sanders (@BernieSanders) September 17, 2015

Jobs. Let's talk George W. Bush and trickle down economics. When he left office, we were losing 800k a month. #DebateWithBernie #GOPDebate

— Bernie Sanders (@BernieSanders) September 17, 2015

At a time of great inequality, there isn't one R on stage who doesn't think we should give huge tax brks to billionaires. #DebateWithBernie

— Bernie Sanders (@BernieSanders) September 17, 2015

Have you heard anyone use the word "poverty" yet? 47.7 million Americans living in poverty. No discussion. #DebateWithBernie

— Bernie Sanders (@BernieSanders) September 17, 2015

Okay. Let's vote for Reagan. Sounds better than any of these guys. #DebateWithBernie #GOPDebate

— Bernie Sanders (@BernieSanders) September 17, 2015

.@JebBush - yes. Let's continue the great ideas that got us into Iraq. Fine idea. #DebateWithBernie #GOPDebate
