Bernie Sanders, running as a Democrat, told a crowd of supporters the U.S. could do “incredible things” like building a rail system to “take trucks off the roads” if he’s elected president.
The video clip that surfaced this weekend offered little context on the matter, other than he couched it in terms of energy efficiency; the line about removing trucks from U.S. roadways came just after he said the U.S. should work to make buildings more energy efficient.
