(11,480 posts)it implies that Sanders planned a traditional romantic honeymoon in Russia. That's simply not true.
I will say, at least you didn't repeat the Limbaugh version that Sanders went at the height of the Cold War. But the simple fact is, at that time Burlington VT sent a contingent to visit their sister city in Russia. Among them was the recently-married Sanders. Sister cities and visits is a common thing. Sanders' comment about it being a "strange honeymoon" were due to the timing of the trip, not that it was intended to be a honeymoon.
Sanders and his wife DID take a normal traditional honeymoon the following year. In St Lucia. St Lucia is not in Russia.
There are enough accurate criticisms of all candidates. Leave this kind of thing to Fox or Limpbaugh.
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided
