Bernie Sanders wants Americans to believe he's a garden variety "Democratic socialist," with the emphasis on democratic.
As media scrutiny of the Democratic presidential front-runner increases, we're learning more about where his political sympathies lie, and they're revealing about what a Sanders foreign policy would look like.
"Let me just-the answer is, it's something that we would take into consideration," Mr. Sanders replied about the Embassy.
Mr. Sanders condemns Mr. Netanyahu, who was democratically elected, but he says nothing about Hamas's dictatorial control of Gaza and missile assaults on Israeli civilians.
Matt Duss, a Sanders adviser who could run the National Security Council, has written that "Like segregation in the American South, the siege of Gaza is a moral abomination." Mr. Duss scrapped with the American Jewish Committee, the Simon Wiesenthal Center and the Anti-Defamation League as a blogger for an affiliate of the left-wing Center for American Progress.
Mr. Sirota, a likely aide in a Sanders White House, praised Venezuela's Hugo Chavez upon his death in 2013 for having "Racked up an economic record that a legacy-obsessed American president could only dream of achieving." This is a crowd that, like Mr. Sanders, looks for the "Bright side of the Castro regime" in Cuba, as Pete Buttigieg put it Tuesday night.
Mr. Sanders is careful these days to say he opposes "Authoritarians" of all stripes, left and right.
