Bernie Sanders’ Support For Socialist Dictators Is Disgraceful And Disqualifying
The Federalist ^ | March 4, 2019 | Brad Polumbo and Patrick Hauf

During a CNN town hall on February 25, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) was asked point-blank if he thought Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro is a dictator. He dodged the question, and has in the past refused to acknowledge the claim to power of Juan Guaidó, the leader of the Venezuelan opposition who is trying to restore democratic order.

Just on February 23, Maduro’s forces opened fire on groups of Venezuelans attempting to receive humanitarian aid into the starving country. Over a two-day stretch, dozens were hospitalized and six people killed.

Unfortunately, under the socialist Maduro regime, that’s just par for the course. It has arrested and killed protesters, tortured political opponents, and committed countless other human rights abuses. So it’s deeply disturbing that a self-described socialist politician like Sanders can’t even bring himself to call Maduro what he is—a brutal dictator. But it’s not surprising.

Sanders has a long history as an apologist for socialist dictators around the world. Now that he’s running for president, it’s time to call out the senator’s record for what it is: disgraceful and disqualifying.

Sanders seriously said, “It’s funny, sometimes American journalists talk about how bad a country is, that people are lining up for food. That is a good thing!”

Sanders is a long time Stalinist and an evil man. He hates America and loves brutal socialist dictators.

Sanders only accomplishment during his many years in government was, along with his lying wife, committing financial fraud and bankrupting a college.

He’s running in the Democrat primary in 2019. That’s not disqualifying, it’s a resume enhancer. It’s too bad they don’t have pics of Bernie next to Che lining up the firing squads in Cuba, he’d be a hero and cruising to the nomination.

Bernie and his followers love dictators, at least those who prattle on about socialism and "the People."

In fact, they plan to become dictators just as soon as they can manage it.

They'll start by doing away with the Second Amendment. If they have to import 150 million illegal third-world voters to make that happen, they'll do it happily.

Sanders will be dead when his dream comes to fruition with this Socialist wave hitting America. Keep the borders wide open,eliminate the Electoral College and Second Amendment and there you go. Since we know what they are going to do.what are WE going to do?
