CNN interviewed Bernie Sanders on Friday and asked him about General Flynn’s talks with Russia before taking office. They played a clip of President Trump saying he was unaware of the reports on General Flynn and asked Bernie Sanders if he thinks that’s a problem.

Bernie responded, “Well I don’t know. Maybe he was watching CNN fake news. What do you think? It was a joke!”

CNN’s Erin Burnett responded awkwardly saying, “I, I know it was a joke…I’m saying you don’t buy what he said obviously”

At this point Bernie Sanders couldn’t hear the CNN anchor and he kept asking, “Are we on?”

They quickly cut to commercial break…AWKWARD!
