Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) said on Tuesday that he was “dumb” for not paying attention to fatigue symptoms during his campaign trail that led him to have a heart attack.
“I must confess that I was dumb. I was born, and thank god, I have a lot of energy,” Sanders told reporters outside his home in Vermont.
