Prior to the launch of the Sanders Institute, the Independent senator was harshly critical of then-rival Hillary Clinton over the Clinton Foundation.

“If you ask me about the Clinton Foundation, do I have a problem when a sitting secretary of state and a foundation run by her husband collects many millions of dollars from foreign governments, governments which are dictatorships?” Bernie Sanders told CNN at the time.

“You don’t have a lot of civil liberties or democratic rights in Saudi Arabia, you don’t have a lot of respect there for opposition points of view, for gay rights, for women’s rights. Do I have a problem with that? Yeah, I do.”

        I remember listening to him 12+ years ago when he was regularly on “Best of the Left” etc - I’m not sure what happened but now he’s an anti-vaxxer ivermectin nut.

          It’s really sad, I really liked him at one time - he used to make a lot of sense to my very lefty mind, and then at some point I realized the things he was saying were becoming more conspiracy than reality and that I didn’t really agree with him anymore. I like science and evidence, not crazy bullshit.

        Democrats see him as a Republican, Republicans see him as a Democrat.

        Independent media activist and jorunalists see him as a lefty and righty.

        Look at his policies and see for yourself.

          Who the fuck cares about this entertainer’s politics? He’s a comedian, not a politician

            You do have a point. I come accross a lot of people that don’t watch certain people due to politics. That is how we get bubbles and tribes.
