GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS: Opening moments last night with Senator Bernie Sanders. He joins us live here in New Hampshire this morning. I’m going to get to that in a second, but first you just heard Donald Trump call you out. He said you lied. He doubled down on that embrace from Vladimir Putin.
BERNIE SANDERS: I tell you, it really is rather extraordinary. I think — and I say this straightforwardly — I think you have a pathological liar there.
GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS: Pathological.
BERNIE SANDERS: Pathological, I really do. I mean, I think much of what he says are lies or gross distortion of reality. Here’s the fact. I mean, he’s been saying over and over again that he saw on television, as I understand it, thousands of people in New Jersey celebrating 9/11 right the destruction of the Twin Towers.
Either that’s true or it’s not true. And what I understand, there have been a lot of research, they archive what goes on television.
You’re a TV guy, right? Everything was saying that was going to be archived.Either it is true, it is not true. Nobody has seen a tape of thousands of people celebrating the destruction of the Twin Towers in New Jersey. It doesn’t exist. And he keeps claiming it. That’s called pathological lying.
