BOMBSHELL: Bernie Was Once Investigated by the FBI Over Ties to Communism

While some in the media are already vigorously working to defend Sen. Bernie Sanders from accusations of left-wing radicalism, they may find no greater obstacle than the Democratic presidential candidate’s own words.

According to a report by the Washington Examiner, as a gubernatorial candidate for the socialist Liberty Union party in 1972, Sanders, then 31 years old, did not push back against accusations that he was an extremist. . .

While Sanders now says he rejects the “communist” label, the Democratic front-runner spent much of his life supporting Marxist dictators and Soviet causes. . .

Sanders’ involvement with the Socialist Workers Party raised so many suspicions that he was even investigated by the FBI, presumably as a possible communist spy.

“I would agree with the judge,” Sanders is reported to have said at the time while referring to a civil case arising from FBI investigation, “who is quite correct in pointing out that when FBI agents come into a secretary of state’s office attempting to ‘investigate’ the political background of a mayor of the largest city in the state, there’s no question but that this opens up the potential for exploitation by the media and could be a source of embarrassment.” (Read more from “BOMBSHELL: Bernie Was Once Investigated by the FBI Over Ties to Communism” HERE)
