WASHINGTON, June 9 – Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) today released the following statement after President Trump bypassed California’s governor to deploy National Guard troops to California:
"Let’s be clear: Trump’s deployment of the National Guard in California is not about the protests there, ICE, or immigration. It is about using extremely dubious legal authority to expand his never-ending grasp for more power and his effort to move this country toward authoritarianism. This is a president who has usurped the constitutional responsibilities of Congress; threatened to impeach judges who rule against his policies; sued media that criticize him; extorted money from law firms that have represented his opponents; and is withholding funds from universities for teaching courses he doesn’t like.
“In our federalist form of government, it is the governor of a state who deploys the National Guard — not the president of the United States. It is absurd and laughable for the Trump administration to argue that they needed to mobilize the National Guard because of a threat from a “foreign invasion” or “rebellion” against the United States. This is just another example of Trump wanting more power for himself and ignoring the law. All Americans – Democrats, Republicans, independents – must stand together against this gross abuse of power.”
Bernie Sanders is more valuable to our country than 100 other politicians.
100 is an underestimation of his value. Closer to 500+.
🪫 delusional
he’s literally the opposition rodeo clown for a fascist empire, he exists as a steam valve for anyone who wants change but refuses to acknowledge they live in a fascist slave empire that must be wholly obliterated

Guess the credit card deal with Trump didn’t pan out, huh Bernie?
Were you under the impression that he thought it would? And surely you didn’t miss the tongue in cheek nature of those comments right?
