Sen. Bernie SandersBernie SandersSenate Dems to hold late-night protest over ObamaCare repeal Senators wrestle with transparency in healthcare debate Law enforcement not in touch with Sanders on Scalise shooters work for campaign MORE (I-Vt.) on Sunday implied that he supports a blockade in the upper chamber as Republicans work to repeal and replace ObamaCare.

During an appearance on CNNs State of the Union, host Jake Tapper asked Sanders if he could confirm that Senate Democrats were planning a blockade over the GOP healthcare proposal.

Jake, I think that the Democrats in the Congress should do everything possible, A, to defeat that legislation, which is, again, to my mind, unspeakable, Sanders replied.

Tapper pressed Sanders, telling the senator he would take the answer as confirmation unless he disagreed.

I am in favor of the American people and members of Congress doing everything that we can to defeat that horrific piece of legislation that will hurt tens and tens of millions of people in our country, Sanders replied.

Senate Republicans are currently working on legislation to repeal and replace ObamaCare after the House last month passed its own version of a healthcare bill.
