Judge Judy Overrules Bernie’s Socialist Revolution: ‘It’s a Joke’

Appearing on MSNBC Tuesday morning to voice her 2020 support for Michael Bloomberg, daytime host Judge Judy Sheindlin blasted the socialist revolution being preached by Bernie Sanders as “a joke” and accused the far-left presidential candidate of trying to “fool the American public.” Anchor Stephanie Ruhle feebly attempted to defend Sanders and his supporters.

Early in the interview, Ruhle asked: “You say that Senator Sanders’ revolution is a joke. Why?” Sheindlin replied with a patriotic defense of America as she slammed Sanders: “This is the greatest country in the world. Nobody wants to leave this country....Senator Sanders’ revolution is not what this country needs. It’s a revolution that, A, is a joke, because it’s fiscally impossible.”

She continued: “And B, wherever it’s been tried on a large scale, it’s failed. I mean, if you look at socialism, when I looked at the definition, right next to it was a map of Venezuela. And you know how successful it was there.”

Beyond picking apart Sanders’ radical ideology, Sheindlin also went after the lawmaker’s record:

Young people may get excited about the word “revolution.” Young people always want a revolution, then they grow up. So it’s really a joke to think that you can fool the American public when you’ve been in Congress for as many years as Bernie Sanders has been in Congress, who I think had either three or four bills passed in the 30 years that he’s been in Congress, and two of them were to name post offices.

Moments later, Ruhle rushed to defend Sanders with an incredibly weak fact-check: “With all due respect, Judy, Bernie Sanders had seven bills, not two or three. But put Senator Sanders aside – and it’s democratic socialism, not socialism i.e. Venezuela...”

Sheindlin dismissed those claims: “...it’s unreasonable, it’s unfair, it’s mostly unjust to trick people into thinking that you can do what you say you’re going to do when, as you said, well, he passed seven bills. Seven bills in 30 years, with two post offices, is not a really great track record.”

The daytime judge then concluded: “So for somebody who wants a revolution and has named two post offices, that is – that is fooling the people out there who are struggling into thinking that he’s the answer. He’s not the answer.”

This was far from the first time that one of Ruhle’s guests had harsh words for Sanders. In recent weeks, several pundits have denounced the self-avowed socialist, always prompting Ruhle to step in and try to defend him:

Judge Judy,

Now all you need to do is dump mini mike and get on the Trump train.

Judge Judy, the angry desiccated millionaire hag who is utterly incapable of a single warm decent thought is “all in” for Gloomberg. It’s very nice she hates communism, but she can take a long walk off a short pier.

Even the world socialists website, his comrades, don’t like this fraud.

“Sanders’ response to the Democratic Party’s open and unrestrained hostility to him exposes the depth of his own political demagogy.”

Yep, I’ve said, Karl would spit on him...uncle Joe would put one in the back of Bourgeois Bernie’s head.

What a FRAUD that “INDEPENDENT”/”SOCIAL DEMOCRAT” for 20 years on the body politic.

His position papers on “the struggle” show it. Wait...what?...

Good eyesight, judge.

You know what else is a joke, Judy? Bloomberg’s Green Energy and Global Warming platform.

The planet will “die” if we don’t have a $16 trillion Green New Deal, or so I’ve read.

[Brian Griffin]

Any leading Democrat who opposes a Green New Deal might see a mob of envirowackos turn their house into CO2.

How much is the bloom’n idiot paying her or what position, Supreme Court seat?

I think I've seen about 10 minutes of her show in my lifetime. I remember seeing it on somewhere and she launched into a screaming anti-gun rant, that was enough for me to know that I never wanted to hear anything out of her putrid mouth again. She obviously doesn't have even the most basic respect or understanding of the constitution. It's easy to see why she supports Bloomberg, they're both rabidly anti-gun.

That fact that a clown like this woman can become filthy rich with a show in a mock courtroom presiding over disagreements between the dregs of society proves how low our culture has fallen. I can't believe people spend hours of their lives watching that trash.

Ah, revolution. I remember seeing this one red t shirt, with a face posed like Che Guevara. Except it was Ronald Reagan. “Viva la Reagan Revolucion “.
