What? John Fugelsang knows why Bernie Sanders might be accepted by America

Doug P. | 1:17 PM on June 03, 2015

Does Bernie Sanders have a chance at winning the presidency? Comedian John Fugelsang thinks next November could be Christmas for Sanders supporters:

They tell me @SenSanders can't win b/c America won't vote for a Socialist Jew. I tell them America celebrates a Socialist Jew every Dec 25.

But wait a second:

@JohnFugelsang Except he's not close to a socialist but you know people spin that for some sort of chic-ness sake

@JohnFugelsang I still believe your way off on the summation that Jesus was/is a socialist.

What about that?

PS – I don't actually think Jesus was a Socialist – I think if he came back today his loudest fans would start calling him Socialist.

So Jesus was not like Bernie Sanders politically? Glad that got cleared up.

sorry john msg was garbled in transmission; did anything follow "I don't actually think"? https://t.co/buRT3ENXHI

In any case, what in the world?

Where in the Bible did Jesus say give unto the government so that the government can become your brother's keeper? https://t.co/8W4NKIUPKP
