Bernie Sanders sides with Ben Carson: "It gets back to my concern about media coverage of these campaigns"

BERNIE SANDERS: Yeah I have a reaction, probably not the reaction you expect.

But it gets back to media coverage of these campaigns. How we lived our lives, what happened to us 30 or 40 or 50 years ago is interesting, and not unimportant.

But you know what is more important to me about Ben Carson, and what I think is more important to the American people: Ben Carson, as I understand it, wants to abolish Medicare — how’s that?

So you’ve got millions of old people whose entire healthcare existence rests on Medicare — he wants to get rid of it. That’s of some significance of me, actually more important that what may or may not have happened 40 or 50 years ago.
