Democrats know socialist Senator Bernie Sanders is dangerous.
It’s why they rigged the 2016 and 2020 Primaries to defeat him.
And Bernie Sanders put Democrats in a bind with this ugly public meltdown.
Bernie Sanders defends Elizabeth Warren’s comments following health care CEO’s assassination
The Democrat Party base is treating Luigi Mangione – the suspect arrested in the assassination of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson – as a hero.
Leftists think health insurance companies are evil and want to replace them with socialized medicine.
Democrat politicians are kowtowing to the ugliest instincts in their base.
Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren sounded like she sympathized with Thompson’s killer in her response.
“Violence is never the answer. This guy gets a trial who’s allegedly killed the CEO of UnitedHealth. But you can only push people so far and then they start to take matters into their own hands,” Warren stated.
Warren later clarified after backlash built to her comments.
NBC’s Kristen Welker asked Sanders about those comments.
Sanders began by trying to denounce violence.
“Look, Elizabeth – I – Elizabeth Warren obviously understands killing and murder and shooting somebody in the back is totally unacceptable,” Sanders began.
Sanders then fell into the same trap as Warren by then using the word “but” and nullifying everything that came before it.
“But what I think has happened in the last few months is that what you have seen rising up is people’s anger at a health insurance industry which denies people the health care that they desperately need while they make billions and billions of dollars in profit,” Sanders added.
Sanders again tried to reject violence.
“So, killing anybody, shooting somebody in the back who was the father of two, is outrageous. And it’s unacceptable. Nobody, nobody should applaud it. I know Senator Warren did not,” Sanders continued.
Sanders – however – used the word “but” again, which told viewers that what came next was what was really important.
And critics contend that Sanders sounded like he was justifying murder because in the name of advancing his chief political cause of socialized medicine.
“But I think what we need to ask ourselves when we talk about health care, is why we are the only major country on Earth not to guarantee health care to all people, why we have a life expectancy which is significantly lower than in other countries, why working-class people die five to 10 years shorter than the people on top,” Sanders stated.
“So, Kristen, I feel very strongly about this, and I think the time is long overdue for us to guarantee health care to every man, woman and child, especially at a time when we’re spending twice as much per capita on health care as the people of every other nation,” Sanders remarked.
“The goal of health care is not to make drug companies and insurance companies phenomenally rich, it is to guarantee quality care to all of our people,” Sanders concluded.
