Presidential candidate Rep. Tim Ryan (D-Ohio) is selling “You Don’t Have to Yell” bumper stickers after making the same admonition to Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) in Tuesday’s Democratic primary debate.
{mosads}Sanders and Ryan’s combative exchange was among the debate’s viral moments, with Sanders defending his “Medicare for All” proposal and Ryan responding that the Vermont senator “[didn’t] know that” he could guarantee all the claims he made about them.
“I do know that, I wrote the damn bill,” Sanders responded, a rejoinder that his own campaign put on bumper stickers after the exchange spread on social media.
The second debate was marked by showdowns between members of the party’s progressive and centrist wings about the need for dramatic policy overhauls, with Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) and former Rep. John Delaney (D-Md.) having a similar standoff.
