Bernie Sanders

Is the “radical left” realizing that Bernie is an “OLD”WHITE MALE”.

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I., Vt.) is facing rebuke from progressive activists and the far left of the Democratic Party for declining to call for the abolishment of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)

Sanders’ failure to come out strongly against ICE — combined with poorly-timed statemSanders’ failure to come out strongly against ICE — combined with poorly-timed ents scolding the Red Hen Restaurant for refusing to serve Sarah Huckabee Sanders earlier this week — have some of the senator’s strongest supporters wondering if he is still the voice of the left, or if his recent rise into the nation’s top 1% of wage earners is tarnishing his image as a warrior for the working class.

 

 

Jeremey Scahill, a journalist who alongside Glen Greenwald founded The Intercept—a liberal-leaning online publication—in 2014, perhaps best summed up the growing sentiment on the left. The journalist took to social media shortly after the interview was broadcast to lambast the 76-year-old senator for having chosen to stand on the “wrong side of history.”

“Then Sanders is choosing to be on the wrong side of history on this issue,” Scahill tweeted. “ICE was created under Bush-Cheney and has done what they wanted it to do, particularly under Trump. It can’t be reformed.”

Sanders’ aversion to abolishing ICE triggered similar rebuke from other journalists and outlets on the left, with some even denouncing the self-described Democratic socialist as a “neoliberal,” a term generally reserved for those who favor free-market capitalism above all else, and as a “moderate.”

It wasn’t that long ago Bernie was a rock star.

“Working class hero” to neoliberal, how long before ” enemy of the people” ?

The revolution has a way of eating its own.
