But Sanders claims CNN SOURCE:
"I am very proud to be Jewish, and being Jewish is so much of what I am," he said at the event in Flint, Michigan. "Look, my father's family was wiped out by Hitler in the Holocaust. I know about what crazy and radical, and extremist politics mean."
He said he remembered being a child and his mother taking him shopping, where they "would see people working in stores who had numbers on their arms because they were in Hitler's concentration camp."
Sanders could be the first Jewish U.S. president ever elected, though he has repeatedly described himself as a secular Jew without strong ties to organized religion.
So is Sanders being truthful, or is Snopes wrong?
We all know CNN isn't biased. /sarcasm
“Without strong ties to organize religion”? Most communists are atheist.
