Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) stood to leave an interview this weekend when asked about the possibility of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) launching a campaign for the Senate.
Sanders heaped praise on the House progressive, but declined to engage in “nonsense” questions about Senate tensions.
“Would you like to see her join you in the Senate?” ABC News’s Jonathan Karl asked Sanders, referring to Ocasio-Cortez.
“Right now, we have, as I said, just a whole lot of people in the Congress,” Sanders responded.
