Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt.,<\/u><\/a> got up during a pre-taped ABC “This Week” interview that aired Sunday, and accused Jonathan Karl of asking a “nonsense” question about whether Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., should run for Senate.<\/p>\n

Right after calling Ocasio-Cortez “extraordinary,” Sanders would not answer a question about whether he would like to see her in the Senate. Speculation has ramped up<\/a> about AOC challenging Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer in a primary after Schumer supported a government funding bill to avoid a partial shutdown.<\/p>\n

“Right now, we have, as I said, just a whole lot of people in the Congress. OK, Jonathan. Thanks,” Sanders said as he got up from his seat.<\/p>\n

Karl told the senator that he had one more question for him.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Well, I ask you \u2013 you know, you want to do nonsense, do nonsense. No, I don’t want to talk about inside the Beltway stuff. I got 32,000 people,” Sanders said, referencing the crowd that gathered Friday in Denver for an event with AOC.<\/p>\n

Karl convinced Sanders to come back and sit down.<\/p>\n

“Well, fine. But I don’t want to talk about this. What was the last question?” Sanders asked.<\/p>\n

Karl then asked about Sanders’ future in politics.<\/a><\/p>\n

“Right now, I am very proud that the people of the state of Vermont<\/a> sent me back to the Senate with 63% of the vote,” Sander said. “Right now I’m Vermont’s senator. That’s what I do, and I’m very happy to do it. I am 83 years of age, so. And I’m tired.”<\/p>\n

Rep. Ro Khanna, D-Calif., spoke on CNN’s “State of the Union” whether he would encourage Ocasio-Cortez to challenge Schumer.<\/p>\n

“She’s perfectly capable of making the decision,” he said. “She’s got so many options. She’s got an incredible future. You know, it’s really her decision. But, you know, all I can say is there’s real anger. And there would be a lot of support for her if she decided to do it.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
