Bernie Sanders went on CNN’s State of the Union Sunday to tell people that “nobody cares” about a Wisconsin recount initiated by Green Party candidate Jill Stein, which Hillary Clinton is also participating in.

When asked by CNN reporter Dana Bash if he supports the recount, Sanders responded, “It’s taking place. The Green Party has the legal right to do it. We have recounts, almost every election there’s a recount. No one expects there to be a profound change, but there’s nothing wrong with going through the process…”

After Sanders discussed holding Trump to his campaign promises, Bash continued to press him on the recount.

“You know this is exactly the issue -- nobody cares,” Sanders interjected. “The Green Party has the legal right. Republicans have requested -- I think the governor of North Carolina right now is doing a recount. That’s a legal right. They do it. I don't think that Hillary Clinton, who got 2 million more votes than Mr. Trump in the popular election, thinks that it's going to transform the election."

"But do people have the legal right to do it? Yeah we do," he added. "The real issue now, in my view, is to focus on what we do to rebuild a disappearing middle class, deal with income and wealth inequality. Let’s focus on the issues of importance to the American people.”
