"I like Bernie just fine," pipes up Amy Klobuchar when she's asked about his 2016 rival's complaints about Sanders.
That was the message Friday night when former Vice President Joe Biden gave Sen. Bernie Sanders a hug on stage during the debate.
The embrace was triggered about 45 minutes into the debate, after ABC News moderator Linsey Davis referred to Hillary Clinton, who has been attacking Sanders as divisive. Davis, directing a question to Sen. Amy Klobuchar , quoted Clinton as saying of Sanders that “nobody likes him, nobody wants to work with him. He’s got nothing done.”“I like Bernie just fine,” said a smiling Klobuchar as she pointed to the men.
The hug cracked up the crowd at St. Anselm College in Manchester, New Hampshire, and created a sweet image of the scrum. Sanders started it all out with a unifying message. “At the end of the day…everybody up here is united,” he said. “No matter who wins this damn thing, we’re all going to stand together to defeat Donald Trump.”So endearing ha ha.
