Bernie Sanders Warns of Trump's New Authoritarianism

"Bernie Sanders warned of the US's slide into authoritarianism following Donald Trump's decision to deploy the national guard to Los Angeles over the city's protests against federal immigration raids. Speaking to CNN on Sunday, the leftwing Vermont senator said:

"We have a president who is moving this country rapidly into authoritarianism ... My understanding is that the governor of California, the mayor of the city of Los Angeles did not request the national guard but he thinks he has a right to do anything he wants."

Sanders added:

"He is suing the media who criticizes him. He is going after law firms who have clients who were against him. He's going after universities that teach courses that he doesn't like. He's threatening to impeach judges who rule against him. And he's usurping the powers of the United States congress. This guy wants all of the power. He does not believe in the constitution. He does not believe in the rule of law."

Pointing to the Republican-led House and Senate, Sanders went on to say that the future of the US "rests with a small number of Republicans in the House and Senate who know better, who do know what the constitution is about".

"It's high time they stood for our constitution and the rule of law," Sanders said."

The DNC has been failing America since 2016.

Unfortunately Bernie, fascism has already taken over and 30% of America's angriest, most inbred idiots are cheering it on.

Agreed, if he hadn't changed his immigration stance he would have had a better chance. Too bad Hillary controlled the party, loaning the DNC that money she really had them by the "ballz".

For reference

"Open borders? That's a Koch brothers proposal" ~ Sanders

Over the past decade, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) has repeatedly warned that an increase of immigrant labor will lower the wages of US workers, now he barely mentions it.
