Cold Bern!

Bernie Sanders was informed last month Russia trying to interfere in the Democratic primaries.
The Nevada Caucuses are today and it seems like the most polarizing Democratic candidate is likely to win this. Folks are concerned that he's going to fail at uniting the party when it comes to taking on Donald J. Trump.

If you are running for the Democratic nomination but are attacking the party's leaders (aka the establishment), you will not unite the party.

This tweet was not helpful.


The Washington Post confirmed that Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) was told by the U.S. intelligence agencies that Russia is meddling in the primaries. Sanders was briefed about the interference in January.

The Sanders campaign gave a tepid response in regards of denouncing Russian influences.

"It was not clear what role they're going to play. We were told that Russia, maybe other countries, are going to get involved in this campaign, and look, here's the message to Russia: stay out of American elections."

Sanders added, "And what they are doing, by the way, the ugly thing that they are doing, and I've seen some of their tweets and stuff, is they try to divide us up. That's what they did in 2016 and that is the ugliest thing they are doing -- is they are trying to cause chaos, they are trying to cause hatred in America."

It remains unclear how Russia is attempting to help Sanders, according to the Washington Post, but it came a day after the revelations that Donald J. Trump is still being backed by the Russian Federation.

President Vladimir Putin personally believes that Trump will ruin America's role as global superpower.

Speaking to reporters in Bakersfield, California, Sanders confirmed his campaign was briefed about the Kremlin's efforts to interfere in the Democratic primaries.

The Vermont senator was also annoyed that the news broke on the eve of the caucuses. He thinks that it would impact his chances.

Pete Buttigieg, Michael Bloomberg and Joe Biden seized on it.
The Kremlin wants Trump and Sanders. They are polarizing figures and Russia wants chaos.
They believed that Sanders is "allowing the Russian interference" and it's going to tear the Democrats apart.

Bloomberg said on social media.

"They either nominate the weakest candidate to take on their puppet Trump, or they elect a socialist as President."

Biden said that in order to cause chaos, the Russians want Sanders. The Biden campaign had felt a blistering sting after the impeachment trial ended. Trump was impeached after it was revealed that he pressured Ukraine to get dirt on Biden. The Senate acquitted him for this. It opened the door for Trump to call upon foreign influences to help him win.

Matter of fact, Trump claims that the Democrats need Russia to beat him. He apparently got upset that the Director of National Intelligence Joseph McGuire told Congress first and not the White House. He was fired out the cannon.

Trump claims that the reports are "bullshit."

While in Las Vegas, he made the question about the Democrats and not him.

"Doesn't (Putin) want to see who the Democrat's going to be? Wouldn't you rather have, let's say Bernie? Wouldn't he rather have Bernie, who honeymooned in Moscow?"

Trump refused to condemn the Russian government for meddling in the election.
