Here’s his response. Makes you wonder why Trump couldn’t say something like this doesn’t it:
Sen. Bernie Sanders on Friday responded to a report in the Washington Post stating U.S. officials had warned the Vermont senator that Russia was attempting to aid his presidential campaign as part of a larger effort to sow discord in the Democratic contest.
“I don’t care, frankly, who Putin wants to be president,” Sanders said of the Russian president, Vladimir Putin, in a statement. “My message to Putin is clear: stay out of American elections, and as president, I will make sure you do.”
“Unlike Donald Trump, I do not consider Vladimir Putin a good friend. He is an autocratic thug who is attempting to destroy democracy and crush dissent in Russia,” Sanders said. “Let’s be clear, the Russians want to undermine American democracy by dividing us up and, unlike the current president, I stand firmly against their efforts, and any other foreign power that wants to interfere in our election.”
