So Bernie Sanders stood up to the president for suggesting cuts to Social Security?
The Sanders-Obama relationship has long been fraught. Another never reported incident: in 2013, when Sanders ripped into Obama for suggesting Social Security cuts in a private meeting with senators.
"I don't need a lecture," Obama told him. Sanders made sure he got one.
