Sen. Bernie Sanders Storms Out Of Interview After This ‘Nonsense’ Question

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) abruptly tried to ditch an interview with ABC News after he was asked Sunday if he thinks Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) could be a possible contender for the U.S. Senate.

“Right now, we have, as I said, just a whole lot of people in the Congress. OK, Jonathan, thanks,” Sanders, 83, replied to political journalist Jonathan Karl, as he quickly rose from his seat to end the interview.

“You want to do nonsense, do nonsense,” Sanders added as he stood off camera. “I don’t want to talk about inside the Beltway stuff.”

Sanders hesitantly returned to the interview after Karl claimed he had just “one more question,” noting it was about him and not Ocasio-Cortez. Karl then asked Sanders if he plans to run for president again. Sanders previously had two failed bids for president.

“Right now, I’m Vermont’s senator. That’s what I do. And I’m very happy to do it,” Sanders told Karl. “I am 83 years of age, and I’m tired.”
