On The Daily Show With Trevor Noah, democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-MA) revealed why he decided to do a town hall on Fox News. In March of 2016, both he and Hillary Clinton took part in a Fox News town hall, but what makes it noteworthy this time around is that last month the Democratic National Committee announced it would not allow the conservative outlet to host a democratic primary debate. But Sanders explained that he doesn’t equate the Fox News viewer with the station itself, and why he wants to reach them.

“Trust me, I know Fox News. I know who they are, and I know the role that they are playing. So to me it is important to distinguish Fox News from the many millions of people who watch Fox News,” Sanders said. “I think it is important to talk to those people and say, ‘You know what? I know many of you voted for Donald Trump, but he lied to you. He told you, for example, he was going to provide healthcare to all people, now he wants to throw 30 million people off the healthcare that they had. He told you that he was gonna give tax reform that would not benefit the wealthy, 83 % of the benefits go to the top 1%.’”

Though some in his own party have criticized the decision, Sanders reiterated exactly why he chose to do it.

“I think it is important to talk to Trump supporters and explain to them to what degree he has betrayed the working class of this country,” Sanders said, “and lied during his campaign in terms of what he would do.”

Whether or not the message Sanders hopes to convey gets through to the audience remains to be seen. The town hall is set to air April 15, and will be moderated Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum.
