Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) admitted in a Monday interview on CBS This Morning that there's a big flaw in the Democratic Party that outright embarrasses him. "I come from the white working class, and I am deeply humiliated that the Democratic Party cannot talk to the people where I came from," Sanders said.
The one-time Democratic presidential candidate said Donald Trump's victory proved that it's "not good enough to have a liberal elite." "There needs to be a profound change in the way the Democratic Party does business," Sanders said, emphasizing that the party "has got to stand with the working people of this country, feel their pain, and take on the billionaire class."
