So, Is This What Bernie Sanders Did On His 1988 'Honeymoon' To The USSR?

Despite endless stories about his 2016 campaign being a den of sexism and sexual harassment, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) is definitely running for president. When Sen. Sanders was confronted with these details, he pretty much said he was too busy running for president, and by that, he means losing to Hillary, to address the crisis. Yeah, not the best answer, Bernie. Still, you’re pretty far left, though I think the Democratic base probably liked you because you were a left-wing alternative to Hillary in 2016. Now, we have oodles of left-wingers to fill that void, who are younger, female, and are people of color. You’re an old, white dude. That breed is not popular with Democrats who bean count how many blacks, Jews, Asians, gays, females, transgendered people, and non-binaries are in a room before they can feel whether they’re comfortable or not. If there are a majority of whites, it’s problematic. Like South Africa Apartheid problematic, so cue the endless lectures about white supremacy, institutional ills, and intersectionality, the latter of which is straight trash and tends to eat their own.
Anyway, I strayed away. Before Bernie 2020 is official, I think the ‘we hate white people crowd’ within the Democratic Party needs to just look at this video that supposedly shows Bernie Sanders getting plastered with some soviets during a trip to the USSR in 1988. Bernie, who was mayor of Burlington at the time, had recently married Jane and decided to use his work trip to Yaroslavl, Burlington’s sister city, where Mrs. Sanders referred to it as their “honeymoon.†She was being light-hearted about it. Still, two things: 1. Sanders pounded vodka with true Soviets. That has to score him points with the far left. 2. It looks like he was having a good time. 3. If we have to have a debate about old videos of current politicians, thanks to the Ocasio-Cortez dancing non-troversy, then this one is king. The progressive publication The Forward has more:
NEW: Recently discovered footage from 1988 reveals a shirtless Bernie Sanders with his wife, Jane, on their honeymoon in the USSR, drunkenly signing “This Land Is Your Land†with a group of presumed Soviets.
