Donald Trump must be defeated at all costs this November, says Bernie Sanders.
The Independent Senator from Vermont described the reality TV personality as being the “most dangerous presidential candidate in the modern history of this country.”
“I say that, not just because of his absurd views on so many issues,” Sanders told Bill Maher’s “Real Time” show Friday, recalling how Trump is a climate change denier who plans to give tax breaks to the top one percent.
“This guy is running his entire campaign based on bigotry,” Sanders added. “Based on trying to divide us up, based on trying to insult Mexicans, Latinos and Muslims and women and African-Americans.”
After reminding the audience that Trump was a leader of the Birther movement, “which tried to delegitimize the first African-American president we have ever had,” Sanders said “this is a guy who must be defeated.”
Over the issue of whether he’d be able to work with Hillary Clinton, who beat him in the race to become the Democratic party’s presidential nominee, Sanders admitted it was “no secret” they’d had disagreements.
“But what I intend to do, the day after Hillary Clinton is elected President of the United States, is to do everything I can to make sure she goes forward are progressively as she can,” he added.

Editor’s note: Donald Trump regularly incites political violence and is a serial liar, rampant xenophobe, racist, misogynist and birther who has repeatedly pledged to ban all Muslims — 1.6 billion members of an entire religion — from entering the U.S.
