House Intelligence Chair Rick Crawford just called Bernie Sanders "a threat to national security"

House Intelligence Chair Rick Crawford: "Senator Sanders is a communist. How he ever got elected is beyond me. And he is a threat to national security."

The real threat to national security is the Trump regime and the Republican Party.

in desperation they are going after their opposition by basically calling them unpatriotic.

Go figure, the ones who don't believe in democracy.

If a Democrat had been as careless with classified documents as Donald John or had been snuggling up to dictators as 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue’s current occupant, Crawford would be calling for said Democrat’s impeachment. And rightly so. National security ought to be a non-partisan issue.

However, Crawford seems to be a member in good standing in the Coward’s Caucus who continues to give Individual One a free pass.

The only Republicans who’ve dared say no to Orange Julius are the ones who are retiring to private life or wh have lost their primaries.
