Bernie Sanders made an announcement Tuesday night during a rally in Iowa that's sure to send shock waves through Donald Trump's campaign.
In response to Trump calling Hillary Clinton's use of the restroom during Saturday's Democratic debate "disgusting" on Monday, the senator from Vermont and Democratic presidential hopeful shared that he was guilty of the same crime. "I've got to be honest with you," he told a crowd of about 1,800 supporters. "I also went to the bathroom. I know, I have to admit it."
Sanders spent a significant amount of time mocking Trump for his comments, adding that "he has discovered women go to the bathroom, and it's been very upsetting to him. This is a guy who wants to be president of the United States. He must have a very unusual relationship with women." Sanders didn't stop there, and also called Trump a "coward billionaire" and spoke out against Trump's proposal to ban Muslims from entering the United States and his stance on tax breaks for high-income earners, The Washington Post reports.
