Honeymooned in the USSR. “same thing”. just spitting hairs over detail.
Now Bernie, by saying he is not a communist, IS telling a lie.
Actually as a Jew Bernie should know that a marriage is not complete until it is consummated in the marital act. In fact the Torah gives the newlyweds an extended deferment from national obligations so that there can be intimate times to deepen and confirm the marriage covenant. So in fact that part of the marriage indeed did take place in Communist Russia! Bernie came back as an ersatz agent of the Soviet Union and immediately hit the airwaves declaring how wonderful the Communist State was at the same time that Christians, Jews and real Russian patriots were being tortured and killed in the Gulag Archipelago. Way to go Bernie, youre a fake Jew and true Democrat.
