“When I came out of the womb, I was booed,” Sanders quipped at a recent news conference. “I don’t take my time to respond and to defend myself. Why would I do that? I’m giving you a microphone if I’m doing it. I’m giving you solace that you’re in my life. I don’t care. I really don’t. I’m not new to this, I’m true to this and I keep going.”

Sanders, unfazed by detractors and haters, added:
“I don’t have a message to detractors or haters. I don’t take my time to respond or defend myself, why would I do that? I’m giving you a microphone if I do that … I don’t care, I really don’t. If it’s been that way my whole life, you would think I’m used to it. I’m not new to this, I’m true to this.”
