Bernie Sanders called Donald Trump a “pathological liar” Sunday on on ABC’s “This Week.”
The Vermont Senator told host George Stephanopoulos, “I think, and I say this straightforwardly, I think you have a pathological liar right there, pathological.”
“I think much of what he says are lies or gross distortions of reality,” Sanders claimed. “Here’s a fact, he’s saying over and over again that he saw on television, as I understand it, thousands of people in New Jersey celebrating 9/11, right, the destruction of the Twin Towers, either that’s true or or not true.”
“Nobody has seen a tape of thousands of people celebrating the destruction of the Twin Towers in New Jersey. It doesn’t exist, and he keeps claiming it,” Sanders argued. “That’s called pathologically lying.”
Sanders said “somebody like a Donald Trump is doing is playing on the fears and anxieties of the American people and people are afraid. They’re afraid of terrorism, rightfully so. They’re anxious about an economy in which the middle class is disappearing. We’re seeing massive levels of income and wealth inequality, people are worried about the future for their kids. These are legitimate fears.”
“So, instead of having a rational discussion about how we rebuild the middle class, how we deal with Wall Street, how we have a tax system in which the wealthy and powerful start paying their fair share of taxes, what Trump is saying, it’s all the Muslims’ fault, it’s all the Mexicans’ fault.”
