Bernie Sanders went to Twitter for the final night of the Republican National Convention to criticize Donald Trump, who has been trying to appeal to former Bernie supporters.
I have a message for Donald Trump: No, we’re not going to hate Latinos or Muslims. We are going to stand together.
— Bernie Sanders (@BernieSanders) July 21, 2016
In the final speech of the convention, Trump explicitly said that he had Bernie supporters on his side:
“Nobody knows the system better than me, which is why I alone can fix it. I have seen firsthand how the system is rigged against our citizens, just like it was rigged against Bernie Sanders. He never had a chance.
But his supporters will join our movement, because we will fix his biggest issue: Trade deals that strip our country of jobs and the distribution of wealth in the country.”
This did not go over well with Bernie Sanders, who live-tweeted Trump’s speech with the hashtag #RNCwithBernie.

Sanders quickly made it clear he did not buy that “millions of Democrats” would be supporting Donald Trump.
Those who voted for me will not support Trump who has made bigotry and divisiveness the cornerstone of his campaign. #RNCwithBernie

We believe in bringing people together, not dividing them up.

Trump is wrong. The real cause of instability in the Middle East was the Bush-Cheney invasion of Iraq. By the way, where is President Bush?

Trump’s big economic plans: Give trillions in tax breaks to millionaires, refuse to raise the federal minimum wage. #RNCwithBernie

Trump’s economic plan: $3.2 trillion in tax breaks for millionaires, cut programs for low-income Americans. #RNCwithBernie

What a hypocrite! If Trump wants to "fix" trade he can start by making his products in the US, not low-wage countries abroad. #RNCwithBernie

Fix trade. Stop manufacturing Trump shirts in Bangladesh at 30-cents an hour. #RNCwithBernie

Citizens United is one of the worst decisions in our history. Will Trump mention it or is he too afraid of the Koch brothers? #RNCwithBernie
— Bernie Sanders (@BernieSanders) July 22, 2016
Still waiting for a single word about covering the 28 million Americans without health insurance. I guess they don’t matter much to Trump.

Trump: “I alone can fix this.”
Is this guy running for president or dictator? #RNCwithBernie— Bernie Sanders (@BernieSanders) July 22, 2016
Trump: “I alone can fix this.” Maybe he doesn’t understand that a president has to work with Congress. #RNCwithBernie

Looks like Ted Cruz was right about one thing. Trump does not understand what the Constitution is about. #RNCwithBernie
— Bernie Sanders (@BernieSanders) July 22, 2016
Our movement understands that what we don't need is Trump's huge tax breaks for millionaires. #RNCwithBernie
— Bernie Sanders (@BernieSanders) July 22, 2016
Trump thinks climate change is a “hoax.” My supporters understand that we must move away from fossil fuels, not expand them. #RNCwithBernie
— Bernie Sanders (@BernieSanders) July 22, 2016
Will there be one word about student debt or making college affordable? Or just concerned about more tax breaks for the rich? #RNCwithBernie
— Bernie Sanders (@BernieSanders) July 22, 2016
Trump’s economic plan: same old, same old trickle-down economics. Pathetic. #RNCwithBernie
— Bernie Sanders (@BernieSanders) July 22, 2016
Trump’s economic plan: let states lower the federal minimum wage of $7.25 an hour, already a starvation wage.

Trump’s Supreme Court nominees would, like Scalia, oppose a woman’s right to choose, support Citizens United and gut the Voting Rights Act.

Though it took him longer than expected, Bernie Sanders has come out in support of Hillary Clinton. Bernie’s statements seem to indicate an anti-Trump message more so than a pro-Clinton one, but he has nonetheless made a strong case for unity, arguing that love trumps hatred.
We will defeat Donald Trump because we know that love trumps hatred.https://t.co/Cx92gzemgo
