"Bernie Sanders Defends Sarah Sanders: People Have a Right To Go to a Restaurant for Dinner"

snip//

On MSNBC on Wednesday, former democrat presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders defended White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders on the currently dominant political topic of civility in politics.

“Look, as I’ve said before, yeah, I think people have the right to go into a restaurant and have dinner,” said Sanders (Bernie) about Saunders (Sarah) being kicked out of a restaurant with her family over political differences.

Host Kristen Welker was asking the Vermont senator about the lack of civility in general at first, and he said he’s “not a great fan of shouting down people or being rude to people,” but that people have a right to be angry.

Why Bill Clinton "of all people"? George II Jun 2018 #55
You may recall some kerfuffle over his wife's use of e-mails during her time as Secretary of State gratuitous Jun 2018 #60
Entirely different issue, AND the fact that Sanders commented about her incident on twitter.... George II Jun 2018 #61
But nobody would have heard a word about it gratuitous Jun 2018 #62
I'm guessing one of the two categories in which you'd like to put Clinton in are: George II Jun 2018 #63

"how SHS handled herself" was to be an adult and leave rather than make a scene Tarc Jun 2018 #18
I wasn't aware that she "made a scene," or that she got a trophy from President Clinton. ehrnst Jun 2018 #20
Not really that difficult Tarc Jun 2018 #47
So, no, she didn't "make a scene." ehrnst Jun 2018 #48
The poster never said Clinton awarded SHS with a trophy ChubbyStar Jun 2018 #81
Perhaps you missed this: ehrnst Jun 2018 #115
Which is what she did (leave rather than make a scene) and THAT is what Clinton said... George II Jun 2018 #57
Once again...acting like a baseline, normal human being is not praiseworthy Tarc Jun 2018 #64
But do you think that she should have the right to have her dinner in peace ehrnst Jun 2018 #116
Sure, I'll clarify that Tarc Jun 2018 #117
So are you going to write Senator Sanders a strongly worded letter? ehrnst Jun 2018 #118
