Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders was accused of 'egomania' and accepting Russian assistance Saturday, after he remarked that neither the Democratic Party nor the Republican Party can stop his 2020 presidential campaign.

David Sirota, Sanders' campaign speechwriter, said calls for"unity" are hypocritical given they are debasing the party's current front-runner for the nomination."The same establishment that calls for unity and civility relentlessly and viciously vilifies Bernie Sanders and the working-class movement powering his Democratic presidential campaign," Sirota tweeted Saturday afternoon.The Washington Postthat U.S.

"He has still refused to register as a Democrat, as far as we know, and he is saying this morning that the Democratic establishment will not stand in his way," MSNBC's Reid told DNC Chair Perez Saturday, questioning if Sanders is inciting a"civil war" within the party:"He's saying the Democratic establishment, that means you guys, will not stop him from getting the nomination.

I dare say!! BERNIE WILL NOT WIN nomination if otherwise then NOT WH.

Again, freedom of speech

He needs to go home.

What he said was wrong headed and he needs to make amends.

I’m calling BS on this! Everyone knows damn well he’s talking about the elite, ultra wealthy and powerful on both sides that don’t want to pay taxes or lose some of their power! Those are the people afraid of him no matter what they call themselves.

No way will crazy Bernie be President

BernieSanders is figthing DNC establishment, GOP establishment will have their turn.

No worries, he will stop himself.

You mean more than he gets already? Hahahahaha Very funny blackvoices ColorOfChange NAACP NABJSTUDENTS Blklivesmatter Dreamdefenders byp100 LBSBaltimore BlackPressUSA NationalSCLC Toure TiffanyDCross iPhilSomething marclamonthill rosaclemente

We welcome Russia Assistance, it is the new normal. Why would that make the news?

The best thing Bernie gave us was each other!

I wish the big picture could be seen. This is not over but we have to get the Presidency, maintain the majority that holds the purse strings, that's the House of Representatives, and the biggest hurdle will be flipping the Senate, changing the Senate leadership. Think about it!

This will play well in the rust belt.

I will not support any democrat or socialist pig

Truth hurts?

Outrage mob strikes again. Don’t treat these politicians like they are saviors and then get pissed when they dont show humility.

Not your favorite candidate......🤣🤣🤣🤣

I don’t understand why this was a bad thing to say.

He is correct, GOP with the help of Russians and Dem establishment.

He's right!

FeelTheBern

Bloomberg will stop him.👌

Appears Dems will have never-Bernies soon...sound familiar?

revmagdalen Thanks for destroying the Democratic Party TomPerez

The Republican establishment will give him any help he needs 😂😂😂

'Bernie Sanders faces backlash' isn't news. News would be 'Bernie Sanders is supported by an overwhelming number of disenfranchised voters. BernieBeatsTrump

A touch of megalomania, Bernie?

Sorry mate but that’s the sort of stupid comment that would get the ‘establishment’ of both parties to take aim.

Some of the Democrats are in the Top 1%.

He needs to retire & spend time with his grandkids

I don’t know why this wild haired fraud is allowed to use the Democratic Party as a platform for his agenda yet trash the same party! Crazy!

He is up only for one establishment, and that's- 'peoples establishment'

The backlash comes too little and too late. He's already on a path to the nomination. His candidacy should have been taken more seriously earlier. Now all the other candidates have been tarnished, and he's got the momentum. Just like Trump/Putin wanted.

Then I guess it is up to the people.

lienacdm Way to spread misinformation. He clearly says they won’t stop “US”, but then you can’t accuse him of egomania in the headline, so you say “him”. WeSeeYouNewsweek MSMisTheEstablishment ButHisSupporters aren’t stupid, at this point YOUAreTheRussianAsset PoliticalRevolution

👀 whaat? Russians are helping him, like Trump, such a shocker.

Trump can win

Backlash or meaningless tweets from weaklings?

He clearly said “They can't stop us”. This is misleading af.

Good, he made it very clear that he is an independent and has no intention of unifying the country.

Huh. JUST like trump. Coincidence? Naw-

That’s what happens when not actually a Democrat, but are running to be the Denocrat’s nominee for president.....🤔😳

Establishment backlash. Who cares?

He's not facing backlash, and by the way he is correct. Keyword here is 'establishment', as in the corrupt people at the top trying to preserve the status quo.

He's starting to remind me of Trump!

We haven't seen it yet,?

He is probably right and we'll end up with the jackpot prize in Milwaukee... let's hope we don't see Hillary's face in the audience somewhere

They can't. For the Dems, then the fascists.

He’s trash. I can’t stand him.

He's got a point.
