Bernie Sanders' early days in Vermont: His life, loves and circuitous route to politics

Just minutes after Donald Trump came under fire for retweeting a white nationalist on Friday, another Twitter user pointed out that the Republican presidential front-runner's latest campaign ad features images of Soviet soldiers.
The images were included in a 40-second video posted to Trump's Facebook page Friday and accompanied by the following caption: "Our veterans are being treated worse than illegal immigrants. If Trump becomes president, that will end immediately. Our veterans will be proud and respected again. #MakeAmericaGreatAgain."
Several of the medals worn by the veterans depicted in the video are engraved with a hammer and sickle and "CCCP," a Russian abbreviation for the Soviet Union. The hammer and sickle is an iconic symbol for communism.
"These are our greatest people," Trump says in the video. "We will take care of them like never before."
A spokeswoman for Trump's campaign did not return the Washington Examiner's request for comment.
It’s hilarious but others here think this is a smoking gun proving Trump is not qualified to serve or some such.
That link is not working for me. Got another one?
I took it from the article - go to the source.
I don’t do Facebook or tweet - everything I got is there.
Yeah like the immigrant photos were shot in Morocco.
Hasn’t anyone figured out yet that Trump DOES THIS STUFF ON PURPOSE? It generates buzz which gets his basic message out to far more people than his original message......for free!
Sloppy work by the campaign, using a Shutterstock image.

I would guess someone will lose their ‘job’ over that. Very sloppy.
Click on the screen shot (at the source) to go to Josh Perry’s tweet.
Doesn’t matter. It’s a personality cult. All stupidities, contradictions and 50 separate flip-flops don’t matter. It’s the personality that matters. All hail Juan Peron.
Thanks for posting the link! Didnt see one Soviet soilder. I would think Trump would probrably screen his ads, being that he is paying for them. Also a man that is familiar with history as Trump seems to be I dont see that kind of mistake happening.
Go Trump
Someone would have to be dumber than a concrete block to not recognize that as a Soviet/Russian soldier.
At the very minimum to know that US medals look nothing like that.
Maybe it was a Bernie Sanders ad. He did take his honeymoon in the Soviet Union.
Kind of like the wall ad video being in Morocco?
Jeb did the same thing when he showed the English countryside as America.
Like everything else Donald has done, he “doubling down” this time on inaccurate video.
But I guess he had a "sugar shack."

Trump has changed it looks like.
Yeah another oops.........how bout the illegals crossing the US border when in fact it was the Moroccan border. Now come on Trump supporters, this is getting close to Obama’s “57 states.”
But but but
The Mouth gets the BEST and Brightest together to get things done. LOL
Thus looks like something the Current idiots in our State Dept would put out.
Is Jen Psaki moonlighting for Donnie?
What a MAROON!
Trump’s Mic guy is doing double duty as an ad man.
You know thats Right.
Go Drumpf
The Good German!
Karma police really like “what goes around, comes around”.
Trump did this intentionally! He’s always right!
Ooops? More like LOL!
But Trump will blame an intern, again
Trump's campaign blames intern for tweet featuring Nazi soldiers
