Tonight on CNN Bernie Sanders was asked point blank why he refuses to call Venezuela’s Maduro a dictator.
He paused for a second and suggested it had something to do with democratic operations taking place or something:
I’m not even sure what his answer means. Bernie admits that the last election wasn’t democratic, yet he still won’t call Maduro a dictator after what he’s done to his people?
Yet in 2016 he was willing to at least suggest that Trump as running to be dictator:
Trump: “I alone can fix this.”

Is this guy running for president or dictator? #RNCwithBernie
Remember back in 2016, Crazed democrats (and some Never Trumpers) were worried that Trump would become a dictator if he was elected president. So that’s the context of the time when Sanders was suggesting this.
But he won’t go near the idea that Maduro is a dictator? There’s definitely something he’s not telling us.
And then on top of that, he deflects to criticizing Trump for ‘selective outrage’!
Yet he won’t even call for Maduro’s ouster.
