During an interview on CNN’s State Of The Union,
Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump lied and claimed that he
is drawing big crowds just like Democratic candidate Bernie Sanders.
Transcript via CNN’s State Of The Union:
TAPPER: You think Bernie Sanders can beat her?
TRUMP: Well, he’s making a lot of progress. You
know, you would have said, and I’ve watched him. I’ve seen his crowds. I
get crowds that are fantastic too. He’s got that. He’s got a lot of
people going to see him. Do I think so? No, I don’t think so. But you
know stranger – hey, you been in this world a long time. Stranger things
have happened.
TAPPER: Some people look at you running for
president and say, this is just about ego, getting his brand out there.
What’s your message to those people?
TRUMP: My message is that they’re wrong.
It’s something that I’ve looked at over the years. I looked at it very
seriously as you know, four years ago. I’ve been thinking about it very
seriously over the last period of time and I’ve decided I’m going to do
it.
Bernie Sanders is drawing thousands upon thousands of people to his events while Donald Trump paid actors to dress up like supporters and cheer for him at his campaign launch.
The media has already been trying to create a false
equivalency between Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump. The reality is that
Sanders is a dedicated public servant who has held office for decades
while Trump is a reality television star who has never done anything in
the public service realm.
Sanders and Trump have nothing in common. Donald
Trump is an example of the kind of entitled billionaire that Bernie
Sanders is leading a revolution against. Donald Trump is a professional
carnival barker and self-promoter who will do and say anything for media
attention.
Bernie
Sanders is leading a true grassroots movement that Donald Trump is
trying to latch his bogus presidential campaign on to. Donald Trump is
hiring actors to pretend to support him. There is no comparison between
Trump and Sanders, and those in the media who are enabling Trump’s lies
deserve the public’s scorn.
