Bernie Sanders Will "Go Big" No Matter What Congress Says
There's an interview up with the creepy brother of Bernie Sanders who has a failed career with the radically left-wing British Green Party. Larry Sanders inspired Bernie to become the Socialist that he is today. And he talks with his brother regularly. So some of this is very much mutual.
The problem with the Clintons, according to Bernie Sanders’s big brother, is that people don’t realize what an awful president Bill was. For the most part, Larry Sanders says, that’s because people are too busy debating “Is Bill really such a terrible rapist—or is he a nice rapist?”
At least unlike Bernie, Larry is actually willing to attack the Clintons. And the interview is interspersed with a lot of "The Bernie Sanders campaign could not be reached for comment" because Bernie is a coward, as he proved several times during the debates when Hillary Clinton challenged him to accuse her of being influenced by campaign donations and he pivoted to attacking Republicans.
If Bernie is able to ride the recent surge in support all the way to the White House, Larry says he would go big—no matter what Congress, the usual conventions or even the majority of the Democratic Party might say.
“He’ll flex his muscles,” Larry said. “I mean this is not cowboy stuff, there are very intricate constitutional discussions [but] he won’t hesitate, if he thinks he’s got the constitutional power to do something—he will do it.”
(The Sanders campaign did not respond to a request for comment.)
But Stalin did reach a rotting thumb out of the grave.
Bernie has always told his brother that the cause of socialism, or social democracy, is more important than his own career.
So Bernie Sanders will disregard even Democrats in Congress and do whatever he wants because the left thinks this is a banana republic waiting for the right dictator to mobilize popular anger over the lack of free stuff.
When Larry was at college studying Marx and Hegel, Bernie was still at high school.
“Sometimes I would tell Bernard about something I’d heard about or read about so I think he did get—at a much younger age than most people—an idea of political thought. So I think I did help him get started,” he said. “He has given me credit—not all the credit.”
You knew Marx was going to come into it.
“Bernard is a genuine socialist in his sense of class warfare—that he thinks there is not a national interest so much as there is an interest with sectors of the population,” he said. “In that sense, his passion and the sense of conflict between the major owners and the rest of the population is very socialist—as socialist as Corbyn.”
Corbyn is the radical British leftist who called Hamas and Hezbollah our "friends". And Bernie Sanders is benefiting from support and aid from the British far left.
Larry said Corbyn supporters within the Labour Party had helped to arrange for UNITE, Britain’s largest union, to allow Bernie’s supporters to hold events in their buildings for free. The union confirmed that the group used its rooms without charge.
The move might be a violation of U.S. campaign finance law depending on who was involved, according to the former general counsel for the Federal Election Commission.
“A foreign national cannot spend any money or give anything of value for a U.S. election,” Larry Noble, general counsel for the Campaign Legal Center said. The question here is whether the Sanders campaign knew, approved, or directly benefited from the free space
Obama got away with it. Why not the left's next Socialist golden boy?
By the way, UNITE backs BDS.
