Bernie Sanders, who is not exactly the most “well-tempered” old man really lost his cool with a CNN reporter on Wednesday.
CNN Capitol Hill Correspondent Manu Raju asked Bernie about the future of his (failing) presidential campaign and Bernie snipped, “Joe-Biden-Style.”

Raju Described what happened in a series of tweets on his Twitter account, calling Sanders “furious.”
“Well right now, right now I’m trying to do my best to make sure that we don’t have an economic meltdown and that people don’t die,” Sanders said. “Is that enough for you to keep me busy for today?”

“The blowup occurred about half way through a five-minute gaggle where Sanders talked about the “unprecedented crisis of our lifetime,” calling for a range of measures that the U.S. government should take in the midst of the economic crisis.”
