Vermont Senator stormed out of an ABC News interview over the weekend after being asked about Rep. Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez’s potential primary challenge to embattled New York Senator and Minority Leader Chuck Schumer.
Sanders called AOC “extraordinary” before getting up and ditching Jonathan Karl.
“Right now, we have, as I said, just a whole lot of people in the Congress. OK, Jonathan. Thanks,” Sanders said as he got up from his seat.
“Well, I ask you – you know, you want to do nonsense, do nonsense. No, I don’t want to talk about inside the Beltway stuff. I got 32,000 people,” Sanders said, referencing the crowd that gathered Friday in Denver for an event with AOC.
Karl ultimately convinced Sanders to come back and sit down.
“Well, fine. But I don’t want to talk about this. What was the last question?” Sanders asked.

Bernie Sanders is the epitome of what is wrong with the left. Won't answer even basic questions and will only let you interview him if it's to promote his propaganda.

Karl then asked about Sanders’ future in politics.
“Right now, I am very proud that the people of the state of Vermont sent me back to the Senate with 63% of the vote,” Sander said. “Right now I’m Vermont’s senator. That’s what I do, and I’m very happy to do it. I am 83 years of age, so. And I’m tired.”
Sanders recently appeared at an event in Denver with AOC.
“She has become an inspiration to millions of young people,” Sanders said of AOC.
AOC has been on the road with Sanders for his “Fighting Oligarchy” rallies.

At a packed Vegas stop, Sanders said it flat-out: the Democratic Party needs fewer elites and more people who “get their hands dirty” and “struggle to put food on the table.”
