THREAD: Being holed up w/ potential COVID-19 (took test this morning), I've had a lot more time than normal to consume @cnn @msnbc @nytimes @washingtonpost—who knows, maybe it's making me sicker. It's been truly stunning & nauseating to see the 180 on @BernieSanders...

They did the same exact shit after 2016 remember!? Remember when CNN had Bernie on doing a Town Hall like every 2 weeks after Trump was sworn in? Infuriating shit
