.@donlemon just interviewed a woman named Lenka, a 2016 Bernie supporter who turned Qanon
She starts by saying (to paraphrase) ‘the seeds were planted in ‘16. If the Dems could rig the primary against Bernie what else is possible’
And THIS is why I will always despise Bernie...
And this is also how the media failed us in ‘16. Bernie’s complaints had no merit. His campaign was a dishonest, unethical mess. His rise in social media was obviously manufactured & Wikileaks..? The media legitimized the criminal theft of emails & amplified unverified info dumps
We begged the media the report the facts & stop promoting clickbait but clickbait is all we got. And afterwards they forgot about Hillary voters & never bothered correcting the distortion. Our future was then built on the lies people believed in 2016. And Q is what we got 😡
And THIS is the problem
More than 4 years later this woman STILL thinks the Dem Party rigged the 2016 primary & cheated Bernie
Listen to her. She now knows Q was a scam conspiracy theory being fed to people but remains completely unaware she was manipulated the same way in 2016
Bernies had YEARS to help put an end to this! FFS he knew in ‘16 that Russia was manipulating social media to elevate him & help Trump yet he remained silent
He’s since watched anger against DEMs grow, Trump capitalizing on it & our Capitol be attacked YET HE STILL STAYS SILENT

Missing some Tweet in this thread? You can try to
force a refresh
👇🏼 This is the person Bernie picked to be his National Press Secretary
Your Press Secretary represents you, your beliefs & your platform. They are the mouthpiece of your campaign. You don’t hire someone for this job unless you trust their judgment
This is who Bernie hired
And let’s not overlook the fact she was a proud Jill Stein voter
Bernie also hired this person for his campaign...who then had to step aside after decent people raised hell
Who would Bernie pick to be in an administration? Best we never find out
It’s time to have a serious discussion about the dangers of a federally controlled healthcare system
With the GOP running roughshod over our laws & rights isn’t it now evident that relinquishing control of our healthcare brings us 1 big step closer to GiIliad?
What would M4A mean? It means drs would essentially be government employees or agents bound not by an oath but by laws passed. It means your entire health history is reported & becomes information of the state. And the end of private insurance ushers all of us into this system..
Before moving on it must be said that Sanders tweet is inexcusably misleading. We’re not going to reverse the Hyde Amendment in this climate & M4A isn’t going to protect abortion rights. If you haven’t yet noticed we’re going in the exact opposite direction at an alarming pace..
I’m tired of Bernie’s lies & spin going unreported so today we’re taking a look at the manufactured myth of his support from poor working class donors
So please, take a look at these few tweets & the receipts within. You’ll learn his rallying cry about $27 donations is bullsh*t
Let’s start here & give credit where it’s due. What you’re looking at is a screenshot of an exchange with Bernie’s camp where his officials are directing people to make as many donations as possible. They’re looking for QUANTITY
Bernie’s goal is to get 1 million individual donations before the FEC filing is due. Here’s his latest email stating this goal
Bernie believes his number of individual donations will convince people he’s our best chance to beat Trump. He wants the news cycle & frontrunner status
Tonight on AC360 Bernie laughs at our losses in TX & FL denying our candidates ran too far left, then lies about the reason we lost seats under Obama
DEMS tried to be “Republican light” he claimed, speaking of those who passed the ACA & protected pre-existing conditions...
For those who need a reminder, we suffered dramatic loses because the Tea Party made Obamacare into the boogeyman & the DEMS who supported its passage were purged from office
Murphy was 1 of them. Does he sound like a “Republican” to you?
Who here thinks Trump would sign a min wage increase? Or sign legislation to cover all children via a M4A plan & lower the age for Medicare eligibility?
BERNIE DOES!👇🏼
Time to write this man off. He’s doing a great disservice by lying abt the reality of our political landscape
