Socialist Sanders Makes Surprising Move During Senate Vote

Bernie Sanders has been quick to criticize the president for not taking the coronavirus pandemic seriously enough. On Sunday, he had his own chance to make a difference by taking part in a key Senate vote on a vital bill to protect our workers and businesses from the economic effects of the virus – and he blew it.

Bernie decided that US workers could go hang because he was going to do a livestream with a couple of rookie congresswomen instead.


Highlights

On Sunday, the Senate met to consider a massive $1.8 trillion emergency funding package designed to protect sick workers and keep businesses afloat during the coronavirus crisis. It needed 60 votes to pass – but with a 47-47 tie, it's still stuck in negotiation hell.

  • Senator Bernie Sanders (D-VT) wants the government to spend more money on American workers. Now, President Trump is trying to push through a massive spending bill designed to protect jobs and make sure workers can pay their bills while the crisis is on – but Bernie couldn't be bothered to turn up and vote for it.
  • Instead of sitting in the Senate and unlocking the financial aid American workers are crying out for, the antique socialist decided to stay at home and take part in a live stream with freshman representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and two other members of her notorious "Squad" – Rashida Tlaib (D- MI) and Ilhan Omar (D-MN).
  • Sanders spent most of the live stream complaining about the financial aid package. He has a problem with bailouts for major industries, including airlines and hotels; Sanders calls this "corporate welfare" and thinks the money should go to "protect workers" instead.

Millwright for the win! "and get bought out". He has already seen the absolute s#$t show of oppo research and skeletons he will be confronted with in the future. He's an old sick man. He hasn't the stamina to endure a final campaign much less an actual presidency. So, he can content himself with telling the young "faithful" red diaper children, "I was denied my chance to reign."
