Bernie Sanders for Liar-in-Chief?

Being the President is surely not a stress-free job!
“So could it be true? I guess it could be. Is it likely to be true? Probably not.” 

So said Bernie Sanders on an NBC News morning TV show about President Trump's claim that the Iranian leader Soleimani was planning an attack on the US. prompting Sanders to call out Trump as a "pathological liar." He added, "When you lie all the time, the problem is sometimes maybe you’re telling the truth and people are not going to believe you.” 

Which brings me to this: About two weeks ago Sanders released his latest physical report from his doctors stating that the 78-year-old was in perfect health despite last October's heart attack, after which two stents were implanted in his blocked artery. In fact, he is so healthy that he no longer requires a beta-blocker (statin drug) or blood thinners at all!

I read that with interest since I had the same kind of heart attack almost three years ago at the age of 70. I was on blood thinners for one full year, as are all heart attack victims who have stents implanted. And my cardiologist insists I take a beta-blocker for the rest of my life, as should all heart attack victims since they greatly reduce the likelihood of a second heart attack.

So is Bernie lying about the recent report on his health status, or is it true? Is it likely to be true? Probably not.
