When Bernie Sanders ran for President, anyone who supported him became a "progressive." His Sanders Institute nonprofit has an active Fellows program that promotes the views of prominent supporters - including the Tulsi Gabbard, who posted a racist video this morning. 
The profile there links to all her social channels, where you will now find the kind of disgusting nationalist crap that defines the extremist MAGA movement.
Yet the claim from Jane & Bernie Sanders is that the Fellows are "dedicated to transforming our democracy through the research, education, outreach and advancement of bold, progressive ideas and values."
Btw, don't think this is just a ghost/legacy program from the hazy political past - it's been constantly updated with new Fellows added. @TheSandersInst promotes articles by the Fellows in its feed. Hey but Tulsi supported Bernie in 2016 so..."progressive." Disgraceful.
Also to those who will say "what does it matter?" It was Sanders who made Gabbard famous - and it's Sanders continuing to give her "progressive" cover. It was also Sanders people who led the damaging "Demexit" tantrum six years ago.
Here's hoping Bernie Sanders loudly denounces Tulsi Gabbard today. But I'm not holding my breath.
