Bernie Campaigns in Brooklyn

The Brian Lehrer Show | Mar 1, 2019

Bernie Sanders, United States Senator from Vermont and presidential candidate for 2020, reacts to the Michael Cohen testimony and talks about why he thinks he's the right choice for Democrats in 2020 — and plugs his kickoff campaign event, happening Saturday at Brooklyn College.

"All I can say is what Cohen talked about it really was a confirmation of what people have assumed and that is that Donald Trump is a pathological liar, he is a fraud and he is likely involved in criminal activities," says @BernieSanders.

"When we talk about Democratic Socialism what I mean are economic rights. I believe that healthcare is a human right… that education is a human right…. We talk about the existential issue of making sure the planet will be habitable for our children," @BernieSanders.
