Bernie Sanders: ‘We Have a President Who Has Very Strong Authoritarian Tendencies’

‘This movement to an authoritarian type society and support of authoritarians should be of concern to every American who believes in democracy’

RUSH EXCERPT: 

SANDERS: “It’s convenient denials. Putin said — you recall when he was in Helsinki, Putin said, we had nothing to do, no involvement in trying to sabotage U.S. Elections. Well, every intelligence agency in the United States government said otherwise and then trump after his discussion with Putin says, Mr. Putin told me they had no involvement. And I believe him. Well, you know, he is now a great, you know, friend of Kim Jong-un in North Korea, one of the worst autocrats and dictators in the world. He loves the guy. You know, Mohamed bin Salman in Saudi Arabia. I think this speaks, Anderson, to the fact that we have a president who has very strong authoritarian tendencies, who likes strong men all over the world. We are seeing those authoritarian tendencies. He attacks the media. First Amendment rights. That’s what media is about. Hacks and independent judiciary. Of the many issues I have with trump, this movement to an authoritarian type society and support of authoritarians should be of concern to every American who believes in democracy.”
