Oct 7, 2021
Senator Bernie Sanders, chair of the Senate Budget Committee, talks with Rachel Maddow about why it's unfair for Senators Manchin and Sinema to place their personal reservations about President Biden's on equal footing with the majority of the American people, the Democratic caucus, and the president of the United States.
After Senator Joe Manchin tried to draw a distinction between himself and Senator Bernie Sanders by saying that Sanders wants an "entitlement society" while Manchin wants a "compassionate and rewarding society," Sanders offers examples of some of the things Americans are entitled to as human beings.
Senator Bernie Sanders, chair of the Senate Budget Committee, talks with Rachel Maddow about the apparent contradictions in statements Senators Manchin and Sinema have made about their priorities for the Build Back Better bill and his frustration with the lack of specificity in their objections so real negotiation can be worked through.
