Bernie Sanders Berns Donald Trump’s Big RNC Speech to a Crisp on Twitter
While presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton live-tweeted Donald Trump‘s RNC speech and her campaign sent a blizzard of oppo emails Thursday night, Independent Vermont Senator and former Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders got in on the act, too. Sanders invited his social media followers to watch Trump’s speech along with him on Twitter, and right in his own living room:

Bernie then spent Trump’s entire address reminding Democratic voters of his powerful command of social media, tweeting a flurry of criticisms at Trump, all with the message that Bernie Sanders supporters would never vote for Trump:
Those who voted for me will not support Trump who has made bigotry and divisiveness the cornerstone of his campaign. #RNCwithBernie

We believe in bringing people together, not dividing them up.

Trump is wrong. The real cause of instability in the Middle East was the Bush-Cheney invasion of Iraq. By the way, where is President Bush?

Trump’s big economic plans: Give trillions in tax breaks to millionaires, refuse to raise the federal minimum wage. #RNCwithBernie

Trump’s economic plan: $3.2 trillion in tax breaks for millionaires, cut programs for low-income Americans. #RNCwithBernie

What a hypocrite! If Trump wants to “fix” trade he can start by making his products in the US, not low-wage countries abroad. #RNCwithBernie

Fix trade. Stop manufacturing Trump shirts in Bangladesh at 30-cents an hour. #RNCwithBernie
— Bernie Sanders (@BernieSanders) July 22, 2016
Fix trade. Stop manufacturing Trump ties in China.

Fix trade. Stop manufacturing Trump clothing in Mexico. #RNCwithBernie

Citizens United is one of the worst decisions in our history. Will Trump mention it or is he too afraid of the Koch brothers? #RNCwithBernie
— Bernie Sanders (@BernieSanders) July 22, 2016
Still waiting for a single word about covering the 28 million Americans without health insurance. I guess they don’t matter much to Trump.

Trump: “I alone can fix this.”
Is this guy running for president or dictator? #RNCwithBernie— Bernie Sanders (@BernieSanders) July 22, 2016
Trump: “I alone can fix this.” Maybe he doesn’t understand that a president has to work with Congress. #RNCwithBernie

Looks like Ted Cruz was right about one thing. Trump does not understand what the Constitution is about. #RNCwithBernie
— Bernie Sanders (@BernieSanders) July 22, 2016
Our movement understands that what we don’t need is Trump’s huge tax breaks for millionaires. #RNCwithBernie
— Bernie Sanders (@BernieSanders) July 22, 2016
Trump thinks climate change is a “hoax.” My supporters understand that we must move away from fossil fuels, not expand them. #RNCwithBernie
— Bernie Sanders (@BernieSanders) July 22, 2016
Will there be one word about student debt or making college affordable? Or just concerned about more tax breaks for the rich? #RNCwithBernie
— Bernie Sanders (@BernieSanders) July 22, 2016
Trump’s economic plan: same old, same old trickle-down economics. Pathetic. #RNCwithBernie
— Bernie Sanders (@BernieSanders) July 22, 2016
Trump’s economic plan: let states lower the federal minimum wage of $7.25 an hour, already a starvation wage.
— Bernie Sanders (@BernieSanders) July 22, 2016
Trump’s Supreme Court nominees would, like Scalia, oppose a woman’s right to choose, support Citizens United and gut the Voting Rights Act.
