endorsement. she didn t make the case that sand sanders is definitively the stronger candidate against trump and i m wondering what you think about endorsements. i mean, historically there is a very strong argument to be made that they don t really matter. they ve become validaters, chris, and you know sometimes for someone like bernie sanders who coming into last week s debate and after his health scare certainly needed some good news to be able to show a vibrant kind of candidacy and getting that kind of endorsement, as well as having 20,000 people show up to a rally. i think achieves that. to me, the alexandria ocasio other tez cortez s endorsement wasn t super surprising. she ended up working for bernie sanders in 2016. she s always been on that side of the democratic socialist left. but also, i think the clip was really interesting in that if the nominee becomes someone like elizabeth warren, i don t think she would be all that opposed. but the challenge for any
if i can finish, bernie mentioned that the taxes we would have to pay and because of those taxes, vermont rejected medicare for all. senator, we are going talk about health care at length, but for the moment, my colleagues want to continue the questioning. i wrote a part in senator sand sanders bill that merges what the two said. if you have a buy in over a four or five-year period, you move us to single payer more quickly. senator, we will get to this. before we do, i want to say hello and good evening to mayor buttigieg. [speaking foreign language]. [speaking foreign language]. many of your colleagues support free college. why not? college affordability is personal for us. we have six figure student debt.
than 2,000 other troops at times, and president trump is justify i justifying the reported move today by saying that we have defeated isis in syria and the only reason for being there in the trump presidency. joining us is richard engel and nbc white house correspondent chris theten welker. first to you, for the rational from the white house for doing this, kristen? well, as you point out president trump tweeted basically mission accomplished tweet. and this is what press secretary sand sanders is saying. she is going further than the president saying that we have started to return the troops home as as we are transitioning to the next phase of the campaign, and again, the president is saying that we have defeated isis in syria, and that is the only reason for being there in the trump presidency, and that is why president trump is going to make this move, but remember, andrea, he campaigned on a promise to pull out the troops from these various different foreign engagements.
they stopped me. also over the weekend, sarah sanders was kicked out of a restaurant in virginia, tweeting about the whole thing. and that restaurant owner. she said her actions say far more about her than about me. i always do my best to treat people, including those i disagree with respectfully and will continuing to do so. the restaurant owners told the washington post she explained to sand sanders, the restaurant has certain standards she has to uphold. days before that, both trump adviser steven miller and keers step nilsson were heckled and booed on separate occasions while dining at mexican restaurants in washington. while some of these instances seem spur of the moment. maxine waters is encouraging this public shaming to continue. if you see anybody from that cabinet in a restaurant, in a
