In a Perfect Metaphor for Socialism, Bernie Sanders' State of the Union Video Response Craps Out

Self-identified "national socialist" Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) couldn't let Rep. Joe Kennedy III (D-Mass.) speak for him in the Democratic response to Donald Trump's first State of the Union address. But, in a perfect metaphor for his economic system, Sanders' own response experienced "technical difficulties."

For almost a full three minutes, Sanders' response was down, and the screen read, "We will be back momentarily!"

"Well, as they say, technology is great when it works, so if you're still with us, we appreciate it very much," the socialist senator said when the video started again.

So long as Sanders' team doesn't fix the video, you might be able to catch the lag here. The glitch starts at 6:09 in the video, and goes on until 8:50

Doesn’t the idiot Sanders know that “National Socialist” is abbreviated “Nazi”??

I seem to recall something about “National Socialists.”

Big rallies. Snappy uniforms...

“Why doesn’t someone have the guts to point out in public that the Democrat Party is controlled by individuals of the same ilk...”

..as the rest of the establishment (GOP) pushing us toward a one world quasie facist-cronie-capitalist-socialist government.
