I don’t doubt at all that you may be supporting Bernie because you’re facing real challenges and you need change. In 2016, many supported Trump for the same reason. My opposition isn’t because they promise change; it’s because I don’t believe the change they’re selling is real.https://twitter.com/atropabdonna/status/1231728802029592577 …

We stood up to the Kremlin candidate on our side. How about you do yours now?https://twitter.com/_spacekitt3n_/status/1231721377037606912 …

In other words, no.

I will never vote for a candidate who divides Americans to gain political advantage or who has the illegal backing of a foreign power, especially an enemy. Can’t we all agree on this much? https://twitter.com/mitchbeeee/status/1231720972396486656 …

Some think candidates can’t control whether they attract Kremlin backing, but that’s incorrect. They win Kremlin backing when they vote or work against critical sanctions on Moscow, run divisive campaigns, and advocate for destructive policies. Ask Trump and Bernie. They know.

Bernie Sanders is the Democrats’ Donald Trump. Kremlin-backed. Moscow sympathizing. Divisive. Deceptive and unaccountable. Exploitative of Americans’ challenges. A more unifying alternative must be chosen.

Also, Bernie consistently finds a reason to either vote against Russia sanctions, including the most important economic tool against Putin’s regime, the Magnitsky Act, or to miss the vote all together. He always has some excuse, but the pattern is clear and it means something.

While most Democrats just want stronger social programs and something done about income inequality, Bernie actually prefers real socialism, government control of industry. Don’t believe me? Read the DSA’s website in which they refer aspirationally to ending private enterprise.

But that’s not the only reason Moscow supports Bernie. It knows that he has long-held sympathy for destructive economic systems, including Soviet communism as his own public statements demonstrate.

Russia supports Bernie because—at the most basic level—he represents one polar end of the our political spectrum. By supporting Trump and Bernie, the Russians help divide the major parties and Americans generally to such a degree that we can no longer defend or govern ourselves.

If the Kremlin is supporting your candidate, it’s because it sees your candidate as a means of weakening America and strengthening itself. If you find yourself supporting such candidate, it’s time to take a step back, learn why and choose someone else.

In 2016, too many Republican leaders and voters understood that Moscow was backing Trump, but they were happy to let it happen because he was “their guy.” Now too many Democrats are doing the same. “Who cares if the Russians are backing Bernie? We support him too,” they say.

U.S. intel and Robert Mueller warned that the Kremlin has supported and continues to support Trump and Sanders. It’s also been obviously observable on social media for anyone paying attention. Both men have longstanding connections to and sympathies for Moscow. These are facts.

Are we really going to have not one, but two Kremlin-backed major party nominees in 2020, America? One isn’t enough? We need to wake up!

Hmm...I wonder if @Harvard_Law has a policy for constitutional law professors advocating for mass atrocities against political opponents. https://twitter.com/Vermeullarmine/status/1230485019623411714 …

Amen. Honest leaders who put the people's interests before their own support and advance legislation to end partisan gerrymandering, a divisive practice of self-dealing politicians seeking to weaken the ability of the people to hold them accountable.https://twitter.com/SenMcCollister/status/1228375269800542208 …

Bill Barr’s comments about ‘not being influenced by the president’ are lies. He’s Trump’s lackey and totally complicit in weaponizing the Department of Justice to hold Trump and his cronies above the law, while targeting their so-called enemies. It should never happen in America.

There shouldn't be a single member of Congress who doesn't support this resolution. White supremacist Stephen Miller's presence in the White House is a danger to the nation and a stain on the Republican Party. Yet watch how few congressional Republicans support this legislation.https://twitter.com/kylegriffin1/status/1228047467855388674 …
