Sanders: ‘Donald Trump Is a Pathological Liar’
NAIR: “Senator Sanders, I want to ask you about Donald Trump asking for a new apology this morning. I’m sure you’re well aware of what I am speaking of. It's Donald Trump basically saying that a reference to him being a recruitment tool for ISIS should have never been a topic of conversation during this debate.”
SANDERS: “Well, let me say this about Donald Trump and what I said the other day. I fear that Donald Trump is doing a great disservice to our country internationally, fanning hatred for the United States all over the world. And I have to say this. If you know me, you know, I am not the most partisan guy in the world and I don’t like taking harsh attacks against my opponents. I think that Donald Trump is a pathological liar. When he goes before the American people and says he saw on a television screen thousands of people in New Jersey standing up and being so happy and celebrating 9/11 and the destruction of the twin towers, it never happened.”
NAIR: “But do you think in response to Donald Trump Hillary Clinton should be apologizing?”
SANDERS: “Well, I think that Donald Trump right now — I’ll let Hillary Clinton deal with that. I think Donald Trump deserves to apologize to the American people. That is delusional. Now, either thousands of people in New Jersey were standing up and celebrating or they weren’t. There is not any indication that that took place, any indication that he saw that on television. Yet he goes around the country talking about it. That is doing a mass disservice to the Muslim people of this country and our relationship with the Muslim people all over the world.“[crosstalk]
