Bernie Sanders Blasts Republican Field: 'They're a National Disgrace'

[BeyondGeography]

Sen. Bernie Sanders called the Republican Party "a joke" during an interview Wednesday evening and he didn’t stop there.

Sanders said the GOP race is a "national disgrace" and an "international embarrassment."

"What Republican candidates have now stooped to is to starting attacking each other's wives," the Vermont senator and presidential hopeful told MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow. "I mean this is an international embarrassment. I think people around the rest of the world think we are pretty crazy."

The underdog candidate vying for the Democratic Party nomination said that comparatively he and his opponent, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, have been playing nice and focused on the issues. Citing several issues ranging from income inequality to climate change, he argued that he believes the GOP is out of touch with voters and has become a "fringe party."

Earlier in the day, the Vermont senator told a packed house in Madison, Wisconsin, that the American people were "flabbergasted" by this year’s Republican race and the low blows from the candidates on the other side were "beyond comprehension to average Americans." He specifically chastised Donald Trump for his recent comments on abortion.

Nobody takes out GOP trash better than Sanders. And I agree with him on the relative civility of our contest, no small thanks to his tradition of sticking to the issues. Once our contest is settled, I look forward to the full force of our most powerful voices speaking together to keep the WH in Democratic Party hands.
