McConnell accuses Democrats of sowing division by 'downplaying progress' on election security MORE briefly paused his rally in Indiana Monday morning to compliment a supporter who used an expletive to sum up the Democratic presidential candidate's message for the “billionaire class.”

“That choice is to tell the billionaire class,” he continued, when a man in the audience interrupted with a shout of “to f--- off.”

The interjection prompted laughter from Sanders, who said approvingly, “Well, that is one way to phrase it.”

"I myself am constrained,” he joked. "I can’t quite phrase it like that, but that’s not bad.”

The Vermont senator said the four-letter word conveyed his point “very succinctly,” noting that he liked it but couldn’t repeat it.

"But it’s something with eff off,” Sanders quickly added.
