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 — Glenn Kessler (@GlennKesslerWP) February 25, 2019

We’re pretty sure that Sanders won’t hold up this tweet as a model for the rest of the world:
