This is one for the books. During a memorable House floor meeting that originally aired on C-SPAN in 1995, Bernie Sanders showcased his true colors when he went on live television slamming Rep. Randall “Duke” Cunningham for his hateful comments about homosexuals in the military.

Also of note is the incredible “parliamentary” zinger from Democratic Rep. Patricia Schroeder in response to Cunningham’s remarks.

This exchange took place nearly two decades ago, when “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” was the law of the land. Since then, one member in this exchange has gone on to run a spirited campaign for president, while the other was forced to resign from Congress and was subsequently jailed for accepting bribes.

Bernie jumps in at the 1:00 mark. Take a look:

3. Good on Bernie

As a reminder, "Duke" Cunningham was a crook who was at the time taking bribes and ended up in prison.

What a piece of shit.
