There was a Senate confirmation hearing today for Trump\u2019s nominee for surgeon general, Dr. Casey Means.<\/p>\n

During the course of the hearing, GOP Senator Markwayne Mullin on Oklahoma laid out the facts about Obamacare and the rising costs of healthcare. At one point, far-left crank Bernie Sanders decided to rudely interject. It was the wrong decision.<\/p>\n

Senator Mullin shut Bernie down not once, but twice. It was a thing of beauty.<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

RedState<\/a> has details:<\/p>\n

\n

Following Bernie\u2019s questioning of Means, Mullin began his allotted time by noting the former presidential candidate\u2019s love of the Affordable Care Act, which he correctly reclassified as \u201cunaffordable.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNo, I support a national healthcare program which would cut the \u2014\u201d Sanders said before Mullin countered: \u201cI\u2019m sorry, it\u2019s my time.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019re going to attack me, I\u2019m going to respond,\u201d Sanders insisted.<\/p>\n

\u201cNah, I\u2019m pointing out facts!\u201d Mullin continued. \u201cYou can say what you want, I\u2019m just pointing out facts.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mullin continued on with his comments before pivoting to asking questions for the Surgeon General nominee.<\/p>\n

\u201cI ranted too long,\u201d Mullin paused.<\/p>\n

\u201cYes, you did!\u201d Sanders shouted\u2026<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m sorry. I didn\u2019t ask your opinion on that. And if I cared about your opinion, I would ask you, but I don\u2019t care about your opinion. You\u2019re part of the system. You\u2019re part of the problem. You\u2019ve been sitting here longer than I\u2019ve even been alive,\u201d Mullin fired back.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is your problem. You should have fixed this a long time ago,\u201d he said of the woefully broken health care system. \u201cYou\u2019ve been \u2026 on it so long, what have you been doing?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Watch the whole video below, this is great:<\/p>\n

\n

MULLIN: \u201cACA is unaffordable.\u201d<\/p>\n

BERNIE SANDERS: \u201cYou\u2019re attacking me.\u201d<\/p>\n

MULLIN: \u201cIf I cared about your opinion, I would ask you, but I don\u2019t\u2014you\u2019re part of the problem\u2014because you\u2019ve been sitting here longer than I\u2019ve even been alive!\u201d \"\ud83d\udd25\"\"\ud83d\udd25\"\"\ud83d\udd25\" pic.twitter.com\/Ug6ogSwYPr<\/a><\/p>\n

Bernie Sanders IS part of the problem and this does not get said out loud nearly often enough.<\/p>\n

Like so many other members of the Senate, Bernie is way past retirement age but simply refuses to go away. On the contrary, he continues to wield undue influence over the Democrat Party, which he isn\u2019t even a member of.<\/p>\n

Kudos to Senator Mullin for calling him out. More Republicans should consider doing the same once in a while.<\/p>\n
