Much of this is true and much of this is satire. Hopefully, you will easily see the difference.
Sen. Bernie Sanders (Communist-VT) is one crazy radical dude. And while many of his co-campaigners on the far left may have endorsed many of his bat-crap crazy ideas, such as allowing murderers like the Boston Marathon bomber to vote while serving time in prison, claiming everyone on the right is a racist, sexist, homophobe and endorsing the Green New Deal written in crayon by Alexandria Occasionally-Comatose, he still may not be woke enough.
Wednesday night at the "She the People" event in Houston may have proved that Sanders and his band of crazy socialists have a very long way to go to win the primary for the 2020 presidential election.
The conference was dedicated to improving the role and giving greater voice of women of color in politics. The event was billed as a "presidential forum," and, in addition to Sanders, both Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) and Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) had speaking slots, all aimed at pandering to minorities who continue to buy into the trickery and false promises.
When he was asked, "What do you believe is the federal government's role to fight against the rise of white nationalism and white terrorist acts, and how do you plan to lead on that in your first year as president?" Sanders responded by accusing current President Trump of "demagoguery," and then launching into a platform speech about raising the minimum wage, expanding health care, and opening up immigration policies.
The crowd wasn't satisfied with the balderdash, and, according to The Blaze, booed and hissed at the old socialist fart's answer.
Host Joy Ann Reid, a woman of color herself who got away with homophobic tweets in the past, saw that Sanders hadn't addressed the issue of white supremacy specifically. She tried to circle back with Sanders, asking him again what he would do as President to address "white supremacist violence to protect our communities."
Sanders responded by noting that he'd been a champion of Civil Rights -- back in the 1960s.
"Oh, right. Absolutely," he said. "I know I date myself a little bit here, but I actually was at the march on Washington with Dr. [Martin Luther] King back in 1963."
That's when the crowd really lost it, heckling "we know!" and pressing Sanders for an actual answer to the freaking question.
This time, Sanders responded by reminding the crowd that he was an early supporter of Jesse Jackson: ""as somebody who actively supported Jesse Jackson's campaign, as one of the few white elected officials to do so in '88, I have dedicated my life to the fight against racism, and sexism, and discrimination of all forms."
It wasn't exactly what the crowd wanted to hear because it was just as much a "nothing answer" and the booing and heckling continued, causing Sanders to have gas and almost a loss of bladder control.
So-called reporters tried to play it down but Sanders came across as an old man who spends a lot of his time reminiscing about how small a contribution he made to the world in all his years taking from it.
Let's remember, the dude was kicked off a kibbutz for not doing his fair share of the work. Kicked off a kibbutz!
Priceless.
