Bernie Sanders Not ‘Comfortable’ With Trump Twitter Ban
New York Post ^ | March 23, 2021 | Jesse O’Neill

Posted on 03/23/2021 8:21:27 PM PDT by nickcarraway

Senator Bernie Sanders said recently that he’s not “comfortable” with former President Trump’s Twitter ban, arguing it could lead suppression of users across the political spectrum.

The Vermont Independent found common ground with many Republicans who accused the social media network of left-leaning bias and political censorship after they banned Trump in the wake of the Jan. 6 attack US Capitol riot.

Sanders made the comments to New York Times columnist Ezra Klein Tuesday, after Trump aides announced the former president would soon return to social media with his own platform.

Bernie isn’t stupid.

(I bet he could walk up the stairs to Air Force 1 without stumbling, too.)

Does that make Bernie the FIRST major Democrat to be bothered by censorship of that right?

Maybe, I can’t think of any other Democrats supporting our side on this, and likewise FAR TOO LITTLE complaining from people who claim to be on our side and even ‘claim’ to support Trump.

Sanders’ economic philosophy is stupid and ignorant, but he has always been totally independent minded and pretty much non-phony. He says what he means and means what he says and doesn’t care what anyone thinks.

I'd be surprised if no one comes up with an earlier statement (or Tweet) by Sanders fully endorsing the Trump ban. Regardless, this is just some mealy-mouthed PR BS from that lying bespectacled parasite.

Bernie is an "Independent Socialist", so no.

Sounds like they are all terrified of Trump starting a social media site.

Suddenly FB, twitter, Bernie, YouTube are all saying -maybe- they think they should let him come back. Think it’s outta the goodness of their hearts?

They know his social media will utterly explode. And it’ll go worldwide in all the countries fighting globalists too.

Perhaps, but he still buckled to Skunk Cabbage after she stole the 2016 nomination from him.

No, they WANT that. They want all conservative, all Trump supporters to be off general social media, and to be siloed onto their own social media, where they can’t influence the public.

No communist means what he says, unless it’s about the revolution.

He also said we can’t afford to take in all the illegals. Guess commie Bernie isn’t sufficiently radical for the democrats.

Bernie always looks uncomfortable. Like he's wearing sandpaper underwear.

Bernie isn’t stupid.

All Communists are stupid - they don't understand the basics of economics or of human nature. But I'll admit Bernie is not senile yet, so he has that over Biden.

Perhaps his Vermonters are questioning this horrific border policy?

Nah, what am I thinking.

Bernie comes from a different generation of leftists. While some wanted to crush all dissent once they got control of the institutions, others actually believed in free speech and open discussion and not just as a means to an end. But it’s extremely rare to find that in younger leftists. They can’t handle any disagreement. Dissenters must die. That’s what they believe.
