Democratic presidential candidate Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) shook up
network morning television by exposing the truth about the Republican cabal on The View.
While on The View, Senator Sanders (I-VT) exposed the real face of the Republican cabal.
Sanders said, “I’m not happy to say this. We have a very lunatic fringe wingnut
extremist Republican cabal. This is not the cabal of Dwight David
Eisenhower.”
Joy Behar replied, “Well, they’re not all like that.”
Sanders continued, “Too many of them are. Too many of them really are now. You just heard Carson’s statement.”
Behar weighed in, “He’s on the fringe I think.”
Sanders said, “I’m afraid not. Really. Joy, I wish I could tell you
that….You haven’t been around Congress too long. These are guys who
basically believe. This is their agenda more or less. Huge tax breaks
for the wealthiest people in this country cuts to Social Security,
Medicare, Medicaid, huge cuts to education. Virtually all of them are
against a woman’s right to choose. Very few of them support gay rights.
The right of gay people to marry. That is their agenda.”
Joy Behar is a very liberal person, but her questions represented
some commonly held misperceptions about the current state of the
Republican cabal that are likely to exist among many audience members of
a show like The View.
People who don’t pay close attention to politics are likely to hold a
view of the Republican cabal that is outdated and inaccurate. This is
not the Republican cabal of Eisenhower. Today’s Republican cabal is not even the cabal of Reagan.
One of the real upsides of the Bernie Sanders campaign is that the
Senator from Vermont has taken the liberal message national. Whether or
not Senator Sanders wins the Democratic nomination, he has brought
mainstream media attention to the liberal message.
Senator Sanders is exposing the Republican cabal for what it is, and he
is opening the eyes of millions of Americans to what the Republican cabal has become.
It is easy for people who closely follow politics to treat what
Sanders said on The View as common sense, but to the vast majority of
the country what Sen. Sanders is saying is a revelation.
