74. Unless Bernie endorses this nutjob after the fact,

I don't blame Bernie.
What is far more concerning is that this is a person running for public office on our side (more or less) and this is the kind of rhetoric he feels comfortable using while talking in his echo chamber of like-minded people.

Edited to add: Thankfully, this person has shown his true colors and destroyed his potential political career and maybe even a career beyond politics. He'd have to switch parties. For Dems, he can delete the tweet but this will still remain in his record.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
