Bernie Sanders: "I Hope Trump Learns A Lesson" From Houston; People Coming Together Regardless Of Race, Gender

Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders appeared on CNN's Cuomo Prime Time on Thursday to discuss what he hopes President Trump "learns" from overseeing the response to Hurricane Harvey. President Trump's spokesperson announced Thursday that the president would donate $1 million to relief efforts





BERNIE SANDERS: By the way, I hope Trump learns from that lesson, that in Houston right now people don't care whether you're black or white or Latino, or gay or straight, people are helping each other, which is what this country is supposed to be about.



People in Houston are coming together, and I hope Trump stops dividing up the American people.



CHRIS CUOMO: He would say, and his supporters would say, that he doesn't have that lesson to learn -- he is just being fair about violence being on 'both sides' when it came to what happened in Charlottesville, and that he is not a divider, he is a uniter.



BERNIE SANDERS: I happen to strongly disagree with that assertion. When the president of the U.S. talks about "nice" people on both sides: Let me be clear. There are no "nice" Nazis. We have got to do everything that we can to end the kind of bigotry and hatred that these people are discussing.
