Sanders gives blessing to Greene on shutdown position despite rocky history

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) on Wednesday praised Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), overlooking her long history of attacking him.

During an appearance at a CNN town hall, Sanders called Greene a “good Republican” due to her support for a Democratic-favored solution that would extend Obamacare subsidies to end the government shutdown. Sanders’s remarks made him the latest and most prominent left-wing figure to applaud Greene for her stance, joining the likes of House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY).
