>> Bernie Sanders laid the smack down on Liz Cheney politically on Twitter.
This is following Liz Cheney attacking Elizabeth Warren for her answer on nuclear weapons during
the debate.
So first, let me give you Liz Cheney's tweet and then I'll give you some context into why
she's getting so salty towards Senator Warren.
Cheney writes, key question for Elizabeth Warren today.
Which American cities and how many American citizens are you willing to sacrifice with
your policy of forcing the US to absorb a nuclear attack before we can strike back?
Now what is she referring to here?
Well there was a brief moment during the debate when Jake Tapper asked all of the candidates
whether they would agree to not have the United States strike first in a nuclear war.
Now Elizabeth Warren agreed that she would not want to be the first to strike, which
I also happen to agree with.
I think it's a bad idea to do the nuclear strike first.
We have done that though in history as we all know and it had disastrous consequences
for civilians.
Now, with that said, I love Bernie Sanders coming in and sharing his two cents.
And he said the following, taking national security advice from a Cheney has already
caused irreparable damage to our country.
We don't need any more, thanks.
>> Okay, look at him.
>> So salty.
>> I love salty Bernie.
I love it!
I love it, he's so right.
I mean it got so many retweets, it got a lot of positive attention.
He has got the moral high ground to make these types of points and I love it.
His voting record when it comes to foreign policy has been pretty solid, and I love the
fact that he's been calling out the right wing for its hawkishness, for its preemptive
war in Iraq, it's wonderful.
Keep fighting, love it.
>> I feel like there was a turn towards sassy honesty after his meeting with Cardi B. And
I'm just seeing it like full steam and I love it.
>> Me too.
>> Okay, let's try to get hashtag salty Bernie to trend.
So, first the policy and then I wanna talk about Bernie's strategy.
Okay, think about why Liz Cheney's strategy makes us less safe.
If we declare to the world, we might hit you with a nuke first even if you didn't attack
us.
What is that gonna make do?
Just think about it logically.
It's gonna get people jittery and thinking, well, maybe we should hit them before they
hit us.
>> No, more importantly, it really does encourage countries to develop their own nuclear arsenal.
Let's keep it real, right?
>> Absolutely.
>> Right.
>> If you know you have this irrational actor, like the United States, which, by the way
has a history of regime change wars, has a history of now preemptive wars.
Why wouldn't you want to develop your nuclear arsenal, especially if you have all these
candidates saying, yeah yeah, I'm totally okay with with striking first?
>> Yeah.
>> It's so shortsighted and stupid but Liz Cheney.
I'm sorry I interrupted you and now I'm ranting.
But Liz Cheney wants that.
She likes perpetual war.
I mean the defense contractors pay her to support and perpetuate war.
>> Yeah.
Now the other policy, the Elizabeth Morris policy.
If you say we will not use a nuclear weapon first, what does that do?
That reduces the chance of any other country hitting first cuz they know we're not gonna
hit first.
So they don't have to panic.
They can say okay, we can give diplomacy a chance, etc.
If all the countries say yeah, we'll hit first everyone will be one inch away from the nuclear
button.
It's such a stupid idea, as usual, from a Cheney as Bernie Sanders points out.
And hey, Liz, are you ever gonna apologize for the hundreds of thousands of civilians
you and your daddy got killed in Iraq?
And all of our soldiers who were killed in Iraq cuz of your stupidity and how wrong you
were about Iraq?
Okay, anyway, I love Bernie Sanders defending Elizabeth Warren.
That's tag team work.
That's progressives sticking together on policy.
That's as good as you could hope for.
I hope Warren does the same for Bernie Sanders.
Now, I do wanna remind you guys, now there's this thing out there in the Democratic primary
you shouldn't criticize one another.
Now of course, they never had that when they were criticizing Bernie Sanders.
That's a new rule now that Joe Biden's being criticized, right?
But the reality is a lot of the Democrats in that debate criticized Elizabeth Warren
on this policy.
They actually agree with Liz Cheney.
So you're telling me I'm not supposed to criticize a corporate Democrat who says, yeah, the Cheney's
are right.
We should use nukes first.
No, of course we're gonna criticize that.
We gotta fight back against that whether it's in the Republican party or the Democratic
party.
>> And if you've noticed she's been commenting a lot lately, especially on any of the language
that's used by left wing radical themed Democrats like Ilhan Omar.
She went after Ilhan like why aren't you condemning over this little video that was leaked about
FGM and things like that.
It's because she's the communications strategist for the Republican party.
And so she is doing war mongering and word mongering.
So she's using this terminology to infect folks and get them scared of the left wing,
of the Democratic party.
And so the Iraq thing, she's never gonna address it.
And it's the most heinous blot on her and her father's record is 1.5 million people,
estimated killed.
Here our small estimates are 200,000 people.
And using socialism against him as well, this fraud of socialism.
He, what I love, is hitting back.
>> Yeah, he needs to.
He needs to.
I think that is a smart strategy, because they're gonna attack him and no one in the
media with the exception of us and other independent platforms, are gonna defend him.
In fact they're gonna pile on.
And so he's not defending himself the way he's been doing recently, I think that he's
gonna get lost in the fray of this election.
>> Yeah, look again, the mainstream media has to take the Cheney's seriously.
She's one in Republican leadership in the House, and they have been treated as neutral
like, maybe we should use a nuclear weapon and kill hundreds of thousands of civilians
include.
You know when you drop a nuke it doesn't go no, that's a baby.
Don't kill the baby.
That's a grandma, don't kill the grandma.
No, it obliterates everyone in that area.
It burns babies alive.
So the pro-life party is saying yeah, every once in a while, we should consider burning
several hundred thousand people alive just in case.
We haven't even been attacked, but just in case, we should consider incinerating all
those people.
It would also kill pregnant women, which would mean you were killing the most important thing
in the world for a Republican, a fetus.
>> Right.
But then all of a sudden you're not pro-life and then you go, can you believe Elizabeth
Warren doesn't wanna incinerate fetuses?
>> But Cenk, their fetuses don't matter like our fetuses do.
They're not considered human.
>> They don't even care about our fetuses.
Let's just keep it 100, right?
They're not principled.
They have no problem with being viewed as hypocrites.
As long as the check clears, Liz Cheney's happy.
>> And the job is done.
>> Exactly.
>> Yeah, and don't forget, what are they doing?
Her father's the one that falsified weapons of mass destruction that Iraq allegedly had.
And whatever deposits they had were reserved from the war that they fought against Iran,
where the US actually supplied them with chemical weapons.
>> Yeah.
>> So I mean- >> Maybe that's such a great point because
we did a preemptive strike already under your dad based on false intelligence.
That's the perfect reason not to do first strikes!
They're monsters.
You can't be neutral to monsters.
Dick Cheney is such a monster he's well known for torture.
It's only the second worst thing he's done.
