Bernie Sanders is “pulling the levers in the control room”
Washington, D.C. – So-called moderate Democrats have officially left the building, leaving Socialist Bernie Sanders at the helm of the Senate Democrats’ legislative agenda. This hard turn to the far Left is bad news for fake moderate Senators like Mark Kelly, Maggie Hassan, Catherine Cortez Masto, and Michael Bennet as well as for proud radical Raphael Warnock. They are now forced to endorse Bernie’s $6 trillion socialist manifesto or risk losing support from the Democrats’ liberal base.
With the opportunity to establish the U.S. as a socialist nation, Bernie isn’t backing down. Instead, he is doubling down on his radical, $6 trillion plan that will tax Americans into poverty and completely transform the fabric of America:
“Sen. Sanders wrote a $6 trillion dollar proposal to address the desperate needs of working people and the existential threat of climate change, and he’s confident that Democrats will come together around a reconciliation bill that does just that.”
There is no denying that the socialist views of Bernie Sanders are now the mainstream views for Senate Democrats. As liberal opinion writer Maureen Dowd wrote for the New York Times:
“Sanders, long a wilderness prophet in Washington, a man who wrote a memoir bragging about being an outsider, admits that it is strange to be a key member of The Establishment. As the chairman of the Senate Budget Committee, the democratic socialist is now pulling the levers in the control room.”
It is officially Bernie Sanders’s Senate agenda – the rest of the Democrats are just there to rubber stamp it into law.
Statement from NRSC Spokeswoman Katharine Cooksey: “We applaud Bernie Sanders’s commitment to socialism and his influential leadership pushing 2022 Senate Democrat candidates to the far Left. It is clearer than ever that with Democrats controlling the Senate, our nation is doing more than just flirting with socialism. Thanks to Bernie Sanders, radicals like Maggie Hassan, Catherine Cortez Masto, Mark Kelly, Michael Bennet, and Raphael Warnock are now vocal supporters of a socialist agenda that American voters will soundly reject in 2022.”
