A video from 1988 that was recently uncovered showed Bernie Sanders and his wife praising the Soviet Union after a visit to that country. A lot of people rolled their eyes hard at the video, and one of them in particular was the former Swedish prime minister:
Yikes, quite a burn from the former prime minister of Sweden — a country that @BernieSanders often praises as a model for the US –> https://t.co/JTjLxFkhxB

We’re pretty sure that Sanders won’t hold up this tweet as a model for the rest of the world:
Bernie Sanders was lucky to be able to get to the Soviet Union in 1988 and praise all its stunning socialist achievements before the entire system and empire collapsed under the weight of its own spectacular failures. pic.twitter.com/bENmwVKi0g

Feel the Bern!
.@carlbildt is the former prime minister of Sweden, the country @BernieSanders uses an example for his socialist proposals. https://t.co/bS4mkTQIyp

Its purges and gulags notwithstanding, Communism is beautiful right up until its ‘Palaces of Culture’ crumble.https://t.co/nrJJas5ntc
