ON SUNDAY ON "MEET THE PRESS" VICE PRESIDENT BIDEN ACCUSED
SENATOR SANDERS SUPPORTERS OF
BULLYING UNION LEADERS WITH
VICIOUS, MALICIOUS, MISOGYNISTIC
THINGS.
THINGS. YOU SAID DEMOCRATS CANNOT BUILD
AN INCLUSIVE PARTY ON AN
FOUNDATION OF HATE.
ARE SENATOR SANDERS AND HIS
SUPPORTERS MAKING IT HARDER?
>> IVE SAID IT MANY TIMES
BEFORE WE ARE ALL RESPONSIBLE
FOR OUR SUPPORTERS.
WE NEED TO STEP UP.
THATS WHAT LEADERSHIP IS ALL
ABOUT.
ABOUT. THE WAY WE ARE GOING TO LEAD
THIS COUNTRY AND BEAT DONALD
TRUMP IS GOING TO BE WITH A
CANDIDATE WHO HAS ROCK SOLID
VALUES AND WHO ACTUALLY GETS
SOMETHING DONE.
SOMETHING DONE. WHEN MAYOR BLOOMBERG WAS BUSY
BLAMING AFRICAN-AMERICANS AND
LATINOS FOR THE HOUSING CRASH OF
2008, I WAS RIGHT HERE IN LAS
VEGAS LITERALLY JUST A FEW
BLOCKS DOWN THE STREET HOLDING
HEARINGS ON THE BANKS THAT WERE
TAKING AWAY HOMES FROM MILLIONS
OF FAMILIES.
OF FAMILIES. THATS WHEN I MET MR. ESTRADA,
ONE OF YOUR NEIGHBORS.
HE CAME IN TO TESTIFY AND SAID
HE THOUGHT HED DONE EVERYTHING
RIGHT WITH WELLS FARGO BUT THEY
TOOK AWAY HIS HOUSE IN A MATTER
OF WEEKS.
OF WEEKS. THIS MAN STOOD THERE AND CRIED
WHILE HE TALKED ABOUT WHAT IT
WAS LIKE TO TELL HIS TWO LITTLE
DAUGHTERS THAT THEY MIGHT NOT BE
IN THEIR ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, THAT
THEY MIGHT BE LIVING OUT OF
THEIR VAN. I SPENT THE NEXT YEARS MAKING
SURE THAT WOULD NEVER HAPPEN
AGAIN.
AGAIN. WALL STREET FOUGHT US EVERY INCH
OF THE WAY ON A CONSUMER AGENCY.
THEY LOST AND I WON.
WE NEED A CANDIDATE WITH
UNSHAKABLE VALUES AND A
CANDIDATE WHO CAN ACTUALLY GET
SOMETHING DONE FOR WORKING
PEOPLE.
PEOPLE.
>> THANK YOU, SENATOR.
>> THATS WHY IM IN THIS RACE AND THATS HOW ILL BEAT DONALD
TRUMP.
TRUMP. >> SENATOR SANDERS.
>> WE HAVE OVER 10.6 MILLION
PEOPLE ON TWITTER AND 99.9% OF
THEM ARE DECENT HUMAN BEINGS,
ARE WORKING PEOPLE, ARE PEOPLE
WHO BELIEVE IN JUSTICE,
COMPASSION AND LOVE.
AND IF THERE ARE A FEW PEOPLE
WHO MAKE UGLY REMARKS, WHO
ATTACK TRADE UNION LEADERS, I
DISOWN THOSE PEOPLE.
THEY ARE NOT PART OF OUR
MOVEMENT.
MOVEMENT. BUT LET ME ALSO SAY WHAT I HOPE
MY FRIENDS UP HERE WILL AGREE
WITH IS THAT IF YOU LOOK AT THE
WILD WEST OF THE INTERNET, TALK
TO SOME OF THE AFRICAN-AMERICAN
WOMEN ON MY CAMPAIGN, TALK TO
SENATOR NINA TURNER, TALK TO
OTHERS AND FIND THE VICIOUS,
RACIST, SEXIST ATTACKS THAT ARE
COMING THEIR WAY AS WELL.
SO I WOULD HOPE THAT ALL OF US
UNDERSTAND THAT WE SHOULD DO
EVERYTHING WE POSSIBLY CAN TO
END THE VICIOUSNESS AND UGLINESS
ON THE INTERNET.
OUR CAMPAIGN IS ABOUT ISSUES.
ITS ABOUT FIGHTING FOR THE
WORKING FAMILIES AND THE MIDDLE
CLASS.
CLASS. IT IS NOT ABOUT VICIOUS ATTACKS
ON OTHER PEOPLE.
>> SENATOR, WHEN YOU SAY THAT
YOU DISOWN THESE ATTACKS AND YOU
DIDNT PERSONALLY DIRECT THEM, I
BELIEVE YOU.
BELIEVE YOU.
>> THANK YOU. >> BUT AT A CERTAIN POINT YOU
GOT TO ASK YOURSELF WHY DID THIS
PATTERN ARISE?
PATTERN ARISE? WHY IS IT ESPECIALLY THE CASE
AMONG YOUR SUPPORTERS?
>> I DONT THINK IT IS
ESPECIALLY THE CASE, BY THE WAY.
>> THATS JUST NOT TRUE.
>> PETE, IF YOU WANT TO TALK TO
SOME OF THE WOMEN ON MY
CAMPAIGN, WHAT YOU WILL SEE IS
THE MOST UGLY, SEXIST, RACIST
ATTACKS THAT ARE -- I WOULDNT
EVEN DESCRIBE THEM HERE THEYRE
SO DISGUSTING.
SO DISGUSTING. LET ME SAY SOMETHING ELSE ABOUT
THIS, NOT BEING TOO PARANOID.
ALL OF US REMEMBER 2016 AND WHAT
WE REMEMBER IS EFFORTS BY
RUSSIANS AND OTHERS TO TRY TO
INTERFERE IN OUR ELECTION AND
DIVIDE US UP.
IM NOT SAYING THATS HAPPENING,
BUT IT WOULD NOT SHOCK ME.
I SAW SOME OF THOSE TWEETS
REGARDING THE CULINARY WORKERS
UNION.
UNION. I HAVE A 30-YEAR 100% PRO-UNION
VOTING RECORD.
VOTING RECORD. DO YOU THINK I WOULD SUPPORT OR
