Socialist Senator Bernie Sanders exploded on Monday when asked during a Fox News town hall about accepting tax breaks that he voted against and why he did not send the money back given the fact that he constantly is claiming that the wealthy need to pay more in taxes.
Fox News host Bret Baier first pressed Sanders on the issue, to which Sanders responded: "Pfft…come on…I am, I paid the taxes that I owe...why don’t you get Donald Trump up here and ask him how much he pays in taxes." As DW's Ryan Saavedra reported:
And ol' Bernie was just starting to get riled up.

Martha kicked Bernie’s @$$ with that question.
I was very disappointed with the hosts in the townhall.
But, I guess they were trying not to be too aggressive, since they still have hopes of getting the DNC to allow FOX to host at least one of the democratic party’s democratic debates. It was all about compromising their dignity and journalistic credentials in the hope of getting the DNC to reconsider.
In any case, Bernie was allowed to deflect and take the offensive and not really answer any tough questions, even with as few as there were.
Good Lord how people follow charlatans
You’d think bernie would have been prepared to answer this- but nope- he just whined about how unfair fox is-
Just like on CNN.
Bernie Sanders does a great Larry David impersonation.
Much ado about nothing.
When bernie loses he has a great career available playing a mad socialist for hollyweird.
Why wouldn’t the DNC reconsider? They have Brazillemole there to feed all the questions again.
Sanders hasn’t done a bit of good in his entire career while Trump was building an empire. An empire which employs thousands.
Sanders is just a leach and a son of a bitch.
“If he cant even keep is cool with these two questioning him, he is going to have an aneurysm when he debates Trump!”
totally! boy, would it ever be great to see this flaming fool “debate” Trump!
Looks like Trump would have him ranting and raving and spraying spittle within minutes, and Bernie might indeed have a seizure of some kind and have to be carried off stage ...
it’ll be interesting to see whether any of the Dems take their gloves off and go for the jugular during their primary debates or whether they all will try to make nice-nice the entire time ... if any go for the jugular, it could expose weaknesses that Trump could exploit during the election debates ...
Correct. Bernie has never had a real job. Being a senator doesn’t qualify you to do anything. What a clown.
I feel dirty even saying this, but I have to agree with Bernie. It is silly to suggest that his support for tax increases somehow obligates him to pay more taxes than he owes.
Yep.
But carter won over 40 years ago.
We just have different kinds of idiots.
but 40 or more percent seem to have always existed.
I heard there was a decent sized socialist following during the 30s
The innerarty members deserve all their perks the little proles don’t get.
inner party
“Good Lord how people follow charlatans”
It’s all that free stuff.
And that is why Bernie that Trump will never release his. Bernie probably thinks he has been harshly treated . Even if Trumps are 100% clean and clear they will still whine about him not giving enough to woman’s causes and race causes - see we told you he was a mysoginist and racist. Never give a sucker (or in this case a group of them) an even break.
