Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders said the unexpected during CNN’s Democratic presidential debate in Flint, Mich. Sunday night.

When asked why he sided with Republican presidential candidate Texas Sen. Ted Cruz when he voted against reauthorizing the Export-Import Bank, Sanders conceded, "Democrats are not always right."

“I don’t want to break the bad news… Democrats are not always right,” he said.

“Democrats have often supported corporate welfare. Democrats have supported disastrous trade agreements. But on this issue, I do not believe in corporate welfare. And in fact... I’ve worked very hard [against it].”
