Bernie Sanders didn’t seem to mourn the potential loss of Nancy Pelosi’s respect Sunday morning on “Meet the Press.” Sanders reiterated his post-election claim that the Democratic Party has “abandoned the working class,” and told host Kristen Welker, “Look, the working people of this country are extremely angry. They have a right to be angry.”
Welker played Sanders a soundbite of Pelosi underscoring her disappointment in his statement. Pelosi said, “Bernie Sanders has not won — let me, with all due respect, and I have a great deal of respect for him, for what he stands for, but I don’t respect him saying that the Democrat Party has abandoned the working-class families.”
