"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."
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.
