As Bernie Sanders Condemns 'Coup' in Brazil, Why Have Obama & Clinton Been So Silent?

Earlier this month, Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders strongly denounced the impeachment of Brazil’s democratically elected president. In a statement posted on his Senate website, Sanders laid out his position as "calling on the United States to take a definitive stand against efforts to remove Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff from office." He added, "To many Brazilians and observers the controversial impeachment process more closely resembles a coup d’état." "Democracy Now!" speaks to The Intercept’s Glenn Greenwald in Rio.
