Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) apparently doesn't agree with the climate policy presented by his colleague, Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.)

Sanders, who supports a fracking ban, simply shook his head.
Seconds later, when Klobuchar made the claim that the candidates on stage share similar climate and energy plans, Sanders was caught on camera mouthing "no."
