.............The broad outlines of Bernie’s long-running infatuation with all things Soviet Russian are available to diligent researchers.
We know Bernie went to Moscow for his honeymoon. This is sort of passed over and laughed off by his supporters, but it should not be. It that era it was considered a signature event in the life of a dedicated American communist. Something many American communists looked forward to as a culmination of their connections with the movement. This was frequently accompanies by other highly symbolic gestures, like getting married in a Red Dress, or having the wedding ceremony itself in the Kremlin. Have we seen pictures of the Sanders wedding?
The honeymoon is explained away by apologists, like the writers at the Israeli newspaper Haaretz as:
“It’s true that in 1988 Bernie and Jane Sanders spent time in the Soviet Union immediately after their wedding, but Sanders was the mayor of Burlington at the time, and the trip, to Burlington’s Soviet sister city, Yaroslavl, was a part of his official duties.”
This is a disingenuous coverup. Burlington’s Russian sister-city was not part of some common and long-standing arrangement. It was not the case that every small town in New England had an assigned Soviet sister-city, rather the sister-city was a direct result of Bernie’s tenure as mayor. As Politico puts it in their article The foreign minister of Burlington, Vt. “In addition to filling potholes, Bernie Sanders focused on the Soviet Union, Cuba and the Sandinistas” in his time as mayor.
He was chummy with all of Soviet client regimes in our hemisphere, in the midst of the Cold War. He never met a Communist dictator he didn’t appreciate: he liked Castro, he liked the Ortega Bros. in Nicaragua, years later he liked Chavez too, initially. These were all Soviet or Russia aligned Communist states. ...............
It really does not matter that he is a full up commie or that omar is a hard core muzzie so long as the sheeple elect them. Parts of this former Republic have become a growing rabble.
The sheeple elected bozo and aoc as well. The sheeple are stupid. They have been brought up on a steady diet of lies, envy, greed and hate.
A Russian afent would be one thing, Sanders’ promised land is not Israel but the Moscow land of dissident blood and meat sewage.
Still is.
Going to Moscow for his honeymoon it is sure that the KGB had some serious discussion with him about how he could be useful to the Cause when back in the USA.
The longer I live and the more I dwell on myself and my past (now 71yo), the more I see that I missed while actually going THROUGH it !
Don’t know is he was or not, but he is a commie.
Bernie got married in a red dress?
Was or is?
Seditious traitor regardless.
Bernie and party a real colluder.
Ping !
