1:26Now PlayingPete Buttigieg said, “I was into Bernie before it was cool,” at the Democratic Debate in Las Vegas, Nevada, on Wednesday. He then attacked Sanders' health care plan that will “raise taxes on anybody making more than $29,000," adding “you’ve got to do the math.” #DemocraticDebate
Bernie Sanders is going on the offensive, trying to head off questions about his health following a heart attack last fall.
The 78-year-old Vermont senator spent much of Wednesday’s Las Vegas debate hammering Mike Bloomberg but quipped that the billionaire former New York mayor “has two stents too.” Bloomberg shot back, “That was 25 years ago.”
Sanders had a heart attack on Oct. 1 and underwent surgery to insert two stents. Bloomberg also had stents inserted but never had a heart attack.
Sanders released three letters from doctors in December saying he was healthy enough for the rigors of the presidency. Some of his rivals, including former South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg, have criticized him for not being fully transparent.
On Tuesday, Buttigieg compared him to President Donald Trump for not divulging enough about his health.
