Senator Bernie Sanders used Donald Trump’s own tweets against him, brandishing a huge cardboard prop of one of Trump’s tweets on the Senate floor. The stunt comes as Sanders is positioning himself to be the champion of all social programs in America from Social Security to Obamacare. This makes sense — he is a Socialist after all.

“Millions of people voted for him on the belief that he would keep his word, ” said Sanders in his Senate speech on Wednesday. “If he was sincere, then I would hope that tomorrow or maybe today he could send out a tweet and tell his Republican colleagues to stop wasting their time and all of our time. And for Mr. Trump to tell the American people that he will veto any proposal that cuts Medicare, that cuts Medicaid or that cuts Social Security.”
I was the first & only potential GOP candidate to state there will be no cuts to Social Security, Medicare & Medicaid. Huckabee copied me.

The above tweet from then candidate Donald Trump which he posted back in May was at the center of Senator Sanders’ presentation on the Senate floor Wednesday. In it President Elect Trump promised to protect Social Security, Medicare & Medicaid.
In the tweet below, Bernie Sanders called on Donald Trump to keep his word.
Either Donald Trump lied to the American people or he's got to say that he will veto any cuts to Medicare, Medicaid or Social Security. https://t.co/ZUlSt2b4p4

And here Senator Sanders declares that he will not let Trump “divide” the American people.
Our message to Mr. Trump is simple: We are not going backwards. You will not divide us up by race, nationality, gender or sexual orientation

In the following tweets Senator Bernie Sanders makes his intention to “save” Obamacare from being repealed by the Republican led Congress clear:
We should not be debating whether to take health care away from 30 million people. We should be working to make health care a right for all.

.@SenateGOP How do you go forward giving a death penalty to thousands of people by taking their health care away without any solution?
