...my son says to me, ‘Mayor Sanders he’s a communist, you know.’ And do you know what I say to him

“I say to my son, ‘Don’t go around saying such things where intelligent people can hear. They’ll think you are stupid.’”

“I told my son that Bernie is a socialist, not a communist.”

“My son, he asks me, ‘What’s the difference?’ And you know what I tell him? I say, ‘If you can’t tell the difference, then you should not call the mayor a communist!’”
