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: "repeal Obamacare." Throw millions of more people off of their health insurance. Great idea. #DebateWIthBernie

He took a jab at former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush (R), tying him to his brother, former President George W. Bush:

.@JebBush Talk about killing jobs. When your brother left office we were hemorrhaging 800k jobs a month. And you want more of the same?

He even praised former NBC employee Donald Trump, albeit jokingly:

Did @realDonaldTrump just support a national single-payer health system? Well. He was right on something. #DebateWithBernie

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
