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."
