The Sanders quote about George Wallace sounds almost exactly like what he says about Trump. Socialism or barbarism, basically. In no way is he praising Wallace.

AND he praised him for being “sensitive” to the “needs” of “people”—a “people” that must be limited to Aggrieved White Men
because this is what Wallace’s “sensitivity” looked like for Black individuals when he was governor of Alabama:pic.twitter.com/i2w3qwdiOUThis media may contain sensitive material. Learn more

This isn’t either/or. It isn’t even that complicated. Sanders centers the experience of angry white men. Always has. Does now. It’s reflexive. Is he a racist? No. But he contributes to racism by prioritizing the feelings and needs of white men (waves
to Joe Rogan). - Show replies

So? Praising Wallace at the same time in a right-wing paper without even specifying WHICH actions of his you find outrageous is playing up your contrariness for attention at the expense of POC, while talking out of both sides of your mouth in other venues. He still does it...

...like in 2016, when he attacked pro-choice Dem Ossoff as 'not a progressive' in the right-wing Wall Street Journal. Got him plenty of attention at the expense of women. His tactics haven't changed much.
