Sen. Bernie Sanders railed against the proposed Dakota Access pipeline on Monday, vowing to stand with the Native Americans and environmental activists who are protesting its construction. In five tweets, Sanders laid out the reasons why the pipeline should be rejected, which ranged from its threat to the environment to its intrusions on protected Native American land in North Dakota, where the pipeline would start.
