Aside from the fact that it is in and of itself morally repugnant to take a damn honeymoon to the worst hostile foreign power America has ever faced, this is a bad look, even for a dem primary:

LINK
quote:


The scene is part of 3½ hours of raw, never publicly seen footage of the trip Sanders took to the Soviet Union that year — his “honeymoon.” POLITICO viewed the tapes this week,

The hours of footage include a scene of Sanders sitting with his delegation at a table under a portrait of Vladimir Lenin. Sanders can also be heard extolling the virtues of Soviet life and culture


quote:

At another point, one of Sanders’ hosts jokingly warns the delegation to not upset the KGB: “Those who don't behave move to Siberia from here."


quote:

Sanders’ wife also talks to teachers in the Soviet Union over tea. She asks them detailed questions about their work and proposes a teacher and student exchange program.

“One thing we are very impressed with is the cultural life,” she tells them. “We strive in Burlington to enrich the cultural life as much as possible. But we have much further to go.”


It would be very hypocritical of dems, who have made russia a huge issue since 2017, nominate a man who openly extolled russia and cozied up with its leaders back when it was way worse.

You think they care about being hypocrites? The "lion of the senate" asked for the KGB to stop Reagan

That won’t matter to a Bernie voter.

Every time these so called Progs open their mouths they say unfathomable shite, people with open eyes know what Bernie is but those who are ignorant enough to follow what he says will allow themselves to be sucked right back in when this old little shite unveils his newest "free" prize

Bernie went to the USSR (communist) when it was a murderous, tyrannical regime, the Democrats don't like Russia an authoritarian, fascist/corporate oligarchy. Two different things.

Bernie Sanders is a despicable human being. Had he pulled that shite in the 50s, he would have been arrested and shot.

Anyone that can vote democrat in modern times after seeing what can occur when restrictions are lifted deserves to be shot between the eyes.

It makes sense when you realize Sanders is a communist.

Bill Clinton went to Russia also.

The country has an extraordinary history and culture. 1988 was right before the wall came down. It was a time of openness in Soviet Russia, before the mafia took over.

Haven’t seen the tape, but that period of time was the most optimistic U.S. / Russia time period can recall in my lifetime.

The democrats love them some communism. The green new deal and the demoralization with the statues being torn down and ANTIFA, BLM, is soviet union 101.

The democrats & GOPe are not just colluding with the Russians (McCain sent his aide to frame Trump with Russian propaganda) they are their puppets.

Russia, China, NK, Havana, laugh their asses off at the pseudo Charlottesville, bird dogging Trump rally's staged events; that promote Trump as a bigot racist. Divided we fall. They never expected Trump.
