and Bernie may have fallen for it given back then he was a nobody and struggling to find his way in politics. This is a man who had no real job before making a career in politics, and has little to show for his 30 years other than the renaming of a couple post offices. He conned lots of people to send in $27 to support his campaign of nonsensical ideas, and to enrich himself with millions from his book deals after 2016. In my mind he is no different than Russia's Useful Idiot in the WH right now.
