(Tea Party PAC) – There was a time, before AOC was even born when Bernie Sanders was a flaming red communist.

Yes, his obvious penchant for Marxism is nothing new, in fact, he’s drastically toned it down over the last few years, pretending instead that the socialism he admires is that of Northern European nations like Denmark or Norway.

In the 80’s however, he was singing the praises of the Soviets, Castro, and the communist Sandinistas in Nicaragua.

Reagan Batallion on Twitter unearthed some very damning videos of Bernie Sanders this week which remind us all why this man must never, ever be president.

After all, he loves bread lines:

Bernie2020 – Make America Venezuela. Today we promise to do everything we can to protect the United States from the scourge of Socialism that has destroyed millions of lives throughout the years. Democrats, reject the demise of your party and country, say no to @BernieSanders. pic.twitter.com/t7GkcPQWwQ — The Reagan Battalion (@ReaganBattalion) February 19, 2019

“You know, it’s funny, sometimes American journalists talk about how bad a country is because people are lining up for food. That’s a good thing. In other countries, people don’t line up for food. The rich get the food and the poor starve to death,” he says.

That’s right, He was literally arguing in favor of bread lines once upon a time.

Here he is praising Soviet public transportation and culture:

As a friendly reminder, the Soviets were the ones who killed more people than Hitler and ruled Russia with a tightly clenched iron fist for decades.

Great busses though, apparently.

Here he is fondly praising the bloody revolution in Cuba, which involved mass murder of dissidents and bloody mass graves containing men, women, and children.

Video: @BernieSanders, University of Vermont, 1986, recalls his excitement watching Castro’s revolution “rising up against the ugly rich people.” & his sick feeling watching JFK speak out against communism in Cuba. Also bashes the @nytimes for lying about communism. pic.twitter.com/OUqzLFbsvz — The Reagan Battalion (@ReaganBattalion) February 21, 2019

Sidenote, to current-day intersectional Bernie: Castro also murdered homosexuals. Just sayin’.

Then there was that time he admitted to helping the communists in Nicaragua defeats US opposition.

How is this man even in the running?
