When this editor saw John Wayne trending on Twitter this morning she thought maybe it was the late, great actor’s birthday or something, but oh no. Some yahoo rediscovered an interview Wayne did for Playboy back in 1971 and they were OUTRAGED and TRIGGERED over it.
Kids these days, right?
Iowahawk had a few key points for the Wayne-triggered whiners to think about (which means they won’t think about any of this but still).

I feel sorry for Bernie Sanders, declaring his run on National Outrage At Unwoke Things People Said In 1971 Day

If people are mad at John Wayne in 1971 Playboy, wait'll they read Bernie Sanders in 1971 Vermont Communist Carrot Farmer and Sex Fantasy News

Wait, you mean Bernie Sanders existed before he was on TV talking about how evil rich people are while running for president?
Get outta town.

Wow.
the most troubling aspect about this is while Bernie was laying about the yurt typing erotic Anarcho-Syndicalist fanfic on his trusty Underwood, the rest of the hippies were out desperately meditating to save the commune's potato crop

But John Wayne and stuff.
The second most troubling aspect: sponsorship by EXXON MOBIL

LOVE IT.
But Bernie Bros aren’t going to care or pay attention to any of this. If his owning three homes and being a millionaire doesn’t reek of hypocrisy to them, nothing will.
