The relevant portion of the video clip starts just after the 4 minute mark. Sanders says that people have lost faith in the Republicans and the Democrats before stating, "Democrats should stop politicizing this is issue. It may turn out president...was not colluding with the Russians."

What the fuck are you doing Bernie? You don’t talk about people losing faith in the democrats! Not in this current political climate and especially not after the polling suddenly shows that the public actually wants a Democratic congress.
You never criticize your own team, especially not when the public seems to be increasingly looking to them to hold Trump accountable. Oh wait, I forgot, you’re not a Democrat.
Forget about him just throwing Democrats under the bus again, the key thing here is that he’s wrong. Democrats should politicize the shit out of this issue. No one has said that Trump, himself, colluded with the Russians. The focus of the investigation has always been on his campaign and his unwillingness to even accept that Russia intervened in the election on his behalf. That is unacceptable.
Bernie is wrong, also, because he thinks Democrats should just focus on economic concerns. Oh fuck that. Seriously. Save the Republic and US Democracy, get congress back and then you can worry about raising the minimum wage.
Focus on Russia and Trump’s brazen lies and attempts to obstruct justice. Why? Because it has even REPUBLICANS saying stuff like the below:
GOP complicity is the key here. Make them own Trump and that includes every lie he told on Russia, every meeting his staff secretly had with Russian agents and every single time he tried to obstruct justice, including his firing of the FBI Director.
Wrap Trump and Russia around the GOP's necks and politicize the shit out of this.

And there are even accounts of DT voters starting to get uncomfortable after Comey being fired. To be clear, these are, of course, hearsay. I’m trusting the word of these Twitter strangers and they might very well be lying. But I’m going to trust that they’re speaking the truth and I hope to see this growing sentiment of fear among DT voters reflected in some polling soon.
