Bernie Lies
Accusing the Hillary campaign of violating campaign finance law.
"Washington politicians are paid over $200,000 an hour for speeches."
Says his campaign has released his past tax returns.
Says he was endorsed by the Valley News newspaper.
"Almost all of the polls that have come out suggest that I am a much stronger candidate against the Republicans than is Hillary Clinton."
"I helped write" the Affordable Care Act. -- PolitiFact ->Sanders said he "helped write" the Affordable Care Act. He deserves credit for one provision of it -- worth a not-insignificant $11 billion. But overall, he was hardly an inside crafter of the bill.
"We didn't go out and take" information from the Hillary Clinton campaign.
Climate change is "directly related" to the growth of terrorism.
Out of the total U.S. military budget, "significantly less than 10 percent of that money is used to fight international terrorism."
The largest low-wage employer "is not McDonalds or Walmart but the U.S. government."
"We spend almost twice as much per capita on health care as do the people of any other country."
"Poverty levels (are) at an all-time high."
"We now work the longest hours of any people around the world."
The Danes apparently have grown weary of Sen. Bernie Sanders insulting their country. Denmark is not a socialist nation, says its prime minister. It has a market economy.
Bernie Sanders was NOT always a supporter of marriage equality for gay people. Mark Joseph Stern who covers Law and LGBT issues for Slate, is one of the few reporters to actually research Bernies gay rights record and his report shows that, in fact, as recently as 2006 Bernie Sanders was arguing AGAINST marriage equality on a national level because he said that States should have the power to deny gay citizens the right marry. And even though Sanders also got a lot of media attention for his past stance of being one of the few against DOMA, there again if you look at his actual record he never expressed any desire for marriage equality for LGBT Citizens, rather he opposed DOMA because he felt it infringed on the powers of the State.
