In reply to the discussion: Why in the f**k is Bernie Sanders delivering a competing response to SOTU? [View all]honest.abe

He's done it the past three years or so. It is only streamed, not covered by MSM, so not to worry

What is it about Stacey Abrams that makes her response insufficient in his eyes?
