Excerpt:

(JTA) — In the upcoming season premiere of the PBS series “Finding Your Roots,” Bernie Sanders does more than look at a printout of his family tree: He gets emotional when he discovers a relative died while standing up to the Nazis during World War II.

In a clip released to JTA, the Jewish lawmaker is visibly moved as the show’s host, Harvard professor Henry Louis Gates, Jr., asks him how he feels after learning about the relative.

“I’m proud of his courage, and willingly going to his own death in order to protect innocent people,” Sanders says. “So I’m very, very proud that I have a family member who showed that type of courage and decency.”

“It’s one of the bravest acts I’ve heard of,” responds Gates, a historian who has hosted the show since it first aired in 2012.

1. But he's not a Democrat!

Despite what some say, I am proud of Bernie's courage and decency for standing for traditional New Deal values!

4. Of course ...

Those filthy, low-down, disgusting, murderous nazi scum bags.

5. Now is his chance to stand up to the Russians and be the same kind of hero.

I just read another article where Putin's gang ran lots of ads supporting him, Trump and Stein. This is his chance to stand for democracy and freedom of the vote.
