Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), who is running for the Democratic nomination for president, live-tweeted the first GOP primary debate on Thursday night using the hashtag #DebateWithBernie.
Sanders posted an image of himself on a couch with a clipboard ahead of the debate, inviting people to watch along with him.
Sanders criticized Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R) for his comments on Obamacare:
.@ScottWalker (https://twitter.com/ScottWalker): "repeal Obamacare." Throw millions of more people off of their health insurance. Great idea. #DebateWIthBernie (https://twitter.com/hashtag/DebateWIthBernie?src=hash)
— Bernie Sanders (@BernieSanders) August 7, 2015 (https://twitter.com/BernieSanders/status/629473803593216000)
He took a jab at former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush (R), tying him to his brother, former President George W. Bush:
.@JebBush (https://twitter.com/JebBush) Talk about killing jobs. When your brother left office we were hemorrhaging 800k jobs a month. And you want more of the same?
— Bernie Sanders (@BernieSanders) August 7, 2015 (https://twitter.com/BernieSanders/status/629473301857988608)
He even praised former NBC employee Donald Trump, albeit jokingly:
Did @realDonaldTrump (https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump) just support a national single-payer health system? Well. He was right on something. #DebateWithBernie (https://twitter.com/hashtag/DebateWithBernie?src=hash)
— Bernie Sanders (@BernieSanders) August 7, 2015 (https://twitter.com/BernieSanders/status/629469171668152320)
He also touched on income inequality, a subject he's been passionate about on the campaign trail:
At a time of massive inequality, does any R think the wealthy and large corporations should pay a nickel more in taxes? #DebateWithBernie (https://twitter.com/hashtag/DebateWithBernie?src=hash)
