After CNN’s Dana Bash had tried to tell Sen. Bernie Sanders that the problem in Washington is that Democrats need to work with Trump, Sanders stopped the Republican talking point dead in its tracks.
Video:
Bash asked Sanders, “Will you also tell your fellow Democrats, stop being intransigent. Let’s get together with the president to do it?”
Sanders stopped that line of questioning immediately by replying, “Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, Dana, Dana, Dana. These guys. The Republicans have the majority. They did not include. They did not include.”
After getting busted, Bash changed her tuned, “I’m with you. They didn’t include you, but they need you now, so let’s look forward.”
Bash used Trump’s talking point that the Republican failure on health care was the fault of Democrats as the basis for a factual question to Sen. Sanders. If Bernie Sanders had not stopped her and made her admit the truth, that Democrats were not included in the health care bill discussion, viewers would have accepted the Republican claim that Trump is failing because Democrats won’t work with him as a fact.
Where was the mainstream media criticism of Republicans as they obstructed Barack Obama for eight years? Why do Democrats have to work with Trump and the Republican-led Congress, when Republicans used obstruction as a political strategy nearly a decade?
The idea that Democrats caused Trump’s healthcare bill to fail is a lie, and Bernie Sanders deserves credit for standing up for the truth and not allowing the press to give Trump a free pass on failure.
