“What is interesting about this, and the reason I am asking first, you are not supporting him. You are supporting Sanders. I will say this about Sanders…At least he believes this crap.

African Americans may not like this and starts with the crocodile tears. You agree that that is phony,” Hannity stated.
De Blasio argued that Sanders is a straight shooter and speaks the truth.
“Working people get this about Bernie. It’s very important. You could disagree with him, but you don’t doubt that what he is saying is the truth. Most politicians bluntly, you have to wonder if you’re getting the real thing,” de Blasio floated.
