Navarro Says Sanders Supporters 'Have A Home' With Republican Party

White House trade adviser Peter Navarro said Wednesday that supporters of Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders were welcome in the U.S. Republican Party.

Sanders suspended his presidential campaign in April but fought to keep his name on ballots nationwide in order to gain enough delegates to potentially influence the Democratic Party platform. Although Joe Biden was officially nominated at the Democratic National Convention (DNC) on Tuesday with 3,558 delegates, Sanders picked up 1,151 delegates.

Sanders' nomination was seconded in a speech by New York Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Supporters of Sanders gravitated toward his progressive policies, including a Medicare for All national health insurance program and the Green New Deal, an economic platform centered around combating climate change.

Navarro welcomed Sanders supporters, known as Bernie Bros, and invited them to advocate for the Republican Party.

I do not mean to bash you in any way. However, I do not think Peter Navarro is delusional. I think he is trying to mislead enough Sanders supporters to swing the 2020 election to Donald Trump and the Republican Party. I think Peter Navarro knows there is no real place for Sanders supporters in the Republican Party. Republicans are 100% against Medicare For All, the Green New Deal, and most of the policies that have been advocated by Bernie Sanders. Sanders supporters are far better off sticking with the Democratic Party. Democrats are not completely in agreement with everything Bernie Sanders and his supporters want to achieve, but the Democrats are willing to compromise on most, if not all, of those issues. In addition, Democrats are closer to the positions of Bernie Sanders than the Republican Party. Take just about any issue, Democrats are likely to be more willing to support something similar to what Sanders and his supporters want than the Republican Party.

It's blatantly obvious what Navarro is doing and if you have listened to his other rants, he repeats the same gaslighting that certain other trump regime members have pushed to the media. The ONLY reason for a Sanders supporter to vote R is to stick it to Democrats for not choosing him as their candidate for potus. It's an attempt to repeat the rage creating disaster of 2016 about another Democratic centrist candidate, in this case Biden.
I was a Sanders supporter but I'm not suicidal, and I know who to vote for.

...trading on its former mainstream prestige to sneak RW trial balloons into the general media ecosystem?
