Tuesday on TBS’s “Conan,” former Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) said President-elect Donald Trump’s “delusional” and “totally insane” tweets have “hidden” his messages.

Discussing Trump’s tweet about illegal voters, Sanders said, “When he says that, he is really sending a signal to Republicans all over this country, Republican leaders. What he is saying is we have got to suppress the vote. We have got to make it harder for poor people, people of color, immigrants, elderly people to participate because they may be voting against us. And that is scary stuff.

On Trump’s flag burning tweet Sanders said Trump’s hidden message is, “Be careful if you are prepared to dissent.”
