Bernie blows it in Florida over Venezuela

"Heas how oy feel Haw Gay"

It's amazing that voters think that Sen. Bernie Sanders is a decent person because he's honest when he speaks about being a socialist, and acts as if socialism is a moral political philosophy. [Hint: it isn't--socialism and Communism are directly responsible for over 100 million deaths in the world.]

And socialism is being played out in Venezuela under dictator Nicolas Maduro, a former bus driver. In fact, his soldiers killed two and wounded others in a standoff today and he refuses to allow food supplies to enter the country to feed the people. They eat dogs with a side of grass in the meantime and who knows what they're using for toilet paper.

Sanders is running for president in the 2020 primary, but it isn't looking good for the old geezer in Florida. 

Miami Democratic Congresswoman Donna Shalala said Thursday that Sanders "is not going to be the nominee of the Democratic Party." She is echoing what others in her state are saying after Sanders refused to denounce Maduro as a dictator or affirm Juan Guaidó as the legitimate interim leader of Venezuela. 

On Tuesday, Univision's Jorge Ramos asked Sanders if he thinks Maduro is a dictator and if he should "go." Sanders hemmed and hawed and then said, "I think clearly he has been very, very abusive. That is a decision of the Venezuelan people. So I think, Jorge, there's got to be a free a fair election."

Then the old fart crap-weasel did what he loves to do--he bashed the United States of America. "But what must not happen is that the United States must not use military force and intervene again as it has done in the past in Latin America, as you recall, whether it was Chile or Brazil or the Dominican Republic or Guatemala. The United States has a very bad record of intervening in Latin American countries. This must not happen again. The future of Venezuela must be left to the Venezuelan people."

Sanders was then asked if he would recognize Guaidó as the interim leader of the country. He answered, "No." 

He then pussy-footed over the "serious questions" about the legitimacy of the election that resulted in dictator Maduro maintaining power. "There are many people who feel it was a fraudulent election," said the Brooklyn-born senator, refusing to say if he is among those "many people." [Having an opinion as a Democrat is very dangerous, except when it comes to deciding who the racists are in the country. Guess.]

For many Democrats in Miami, Sanders just bought the farm--of course, being Sanders, he bought it with taxpayer money. The Hispanic community in Florida will not vote for a weasel whisperer who refuses to call out Latin American dictators--they've had their fill with the Castro brothers. 

Rep. Shalala has recently filed legislation to assist Venezuelans fleeing Maduro's socialist regime and economic crisis that his socialist policies have made even worse since coming into power.

Speaking to Politico, Shalala said of Sanders: "He is not going to be the nominee of the Democratic Party. He has demonstrated again that he does not understand this situation. I absolutely disagree with his imprecision in not saying Maduro must go."

"Helena Poleo, a former journalist and Democrat from Venezuela is also a Spanish-language commentator. She called Sanders comments 'disgusting. The Florida Democratic Party needs to denounce this now,'" Politico reports.

Democratic State Sen. Annette Taddeo (Miami) said she was "dumbfounded" by Sanders' response, Politico reports. "He’s obviously clueless," she said, questioning if he's been fully briefed on the situation. [The problem isn't that Sanders wasn't briefed, the problem is that he is a socialist and has the moral equivalency of the scavenger pilot fish feeding off a shark.]

The Democratic Party of Florida issued an "unequivocal" statement. Although it doesn't name Sanders, it directly counters his comments: "Florida Democrats have been unequivocal: We recognize Juan Guaidó as the President of Venezuela, denounce the legitimacy of the Maduro regime and his efforts to remain illegally in power," the party said in a statement.
