Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders got riled up during his New Hampshire Democratic primary victory speech Tuesday night.

He declared that Americans across the political spectrum must not allow “right-wing Republicans” to win the U.S. presidency.

“This a message not just to our opponents, but to those who support me as well, that we will need to come together in a few months and unite this party and this nation because the right-wing Republicans we oppose must not be allowed to gain the presidency,” said Sanders.

He went on to blame Republicans for the Great Depression in the 1930s, saying that America cannot allow "the same-old establishment politics and economics" to continue. 

“What the people here have said is that given the crises facing our country, it is just too late for the same-old, same-old establishment politics and economics,” said Sanders of his N.H. primary win. “The people want real change.”

Sanders took first place in the granite state with 58 percent, followed by Clinton with 40 percent and former Maryland governor Martin O’Malley with zero percent.
