Bernie did a good job of responding to this lie-filled loaded question from rightwing escuálido regime-change propagandist Jorge Ramos

Bernie stressed Bolivian President Evo drastically cut poverty, represented the Indigenous, and was overthrown in a COUP

In this @Moderate_Rebels episode we debunked Jorge Ramos' absurd lies about Venezuela and showed how he acts as a mouthpiece for US-backed right-wing opposition groups trying to overthrow Latin America's democratically elected left-wing governments

@Moderate_Rebels .@JorgeRamosnews portrays himself as the liberal "resistance" against Trump, but Ramos helps Trump's far-right coups and is such an escúalido regime-change tool that he has kept attacking Mexico's center-left President AMLO—who has a 70-78% approval rating

@Moderate_Rebels @jorgeramosnews Mexico's wildly popular President AMLO is center-left, but still too left-wing for propagandist Jorge Ramos

In February AMLO had an 86% approval rating. Mexico's working class loves him

What is Ramos' approval rating in Mexico? Probably in single digits

@Moderate_Rebels @jorgeramosnews True to neoliberal form, Jorge Ramos played both sides and helped justify the far-right coup in Bolivia by falsely claiming elected President Evo Morales committed "fraud"

There's no evidence of this because it's not true. US puppet OAS provided no proof

@Moderate_Rebels @jorgeramosnews Listen to real experts: "Statistical analysis of election returns and tally sheets from Bolivia’s October 20 elections shows no evidence that irregularities or fraud affected the official result that gave President Evo Morales a first-round victory"
