In an interview with Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders on Tuesday’s Today, co-host Matt Lauer worried that the socialist presidential candidate was out of step with “mainstream Democrats.” However, it was not because of Sanders’ radical left-wing views, but because he was not anti-gun enough.
Lauer grilled him: “You are Progressive across the board, except perhaps on the issue of guns. You've supported some reforms, but you also support legal immunity for gun manufacturers. You voted against the Brady Bill, which calls for background checks and five-day waiting periods. Do you think at this stage, in this day and age, that makes you a tough sell for many mainstream Democrats?”
