Ha-ha... the PC crowd turns on Bernie....

[The Tradition]

At Sunday night's Democratic debate, Bernie Sanders tried to take a stand on mental health and knock Republicans in the same breath — and it didn't seem to go as planned.

After Hillary Clinton urged voters to "compare the substance of this debate to what you saw on the Republican stage last week," Sanders tried to piggyback onto her scorn, but ended up ruffling the wrong feathers.

"You know, we are, if elected president, going to invest a lot of money into mental health," Sanders said. "And when you watch these Republican debates, you know why we need to invest in that."

On Twitter, those struggling with mental health pointed out exactly why Sanders' joke was inappropriate:

After he said this, I thought, Bad mistake. Probably shouldn't have gone there.

I am thinking that being offended is a hobby for some.

Seriously, to be offended all the time is a full time job for some.

What is mentally ill, is thinking someone's a racist because they want to secure the border and stop ILLEGAL immigration. There's not enough money in the world you could throw at them that would help.

It played well to the crowd at the time. They were all giddy.

Grasping at straws, and a huge majority of the people complaining were Hillary bots to begin with.
