Socialist Senator Bernie Sanders just learned the hard way that Americans won't stand for attacks on First Lady Melania Trump – even when disguised as criticism of Jeff Bezos and Washington Post layoffs.
The Vermont radical stepped into a digital buzzsaw this week after attempting to link recent mass layoffs at the failing Washington Post to Bezos's business dealings with the Trump administration, specifically targeting the successful documentary about our beautiful First Lady.
In a typically unhinged rant, Sanders whined: "If Bezos can afford to spend $75m on Melania Movie, $500m for Yacht to Sail Off to $55m Wedding, Give Wife a $5m Ring, Please Don't Tell Me He Needed to Fire 1/3 of the WaPoStaff."
The backlash was swift and merciless. Patriots across social media immediately called out Bernie's financial illiteracy and inappropriate attack on the First Lady.
"NEED is irrelevant! It's his business, he can hire/fire whomever he wants," fired back one user, perfectly capturing what every freedom-loving American was thinking.
Here's what Bernie and his socialist cronies don't understand: "Melania" earned its success the old-fashioned way – by delivering quality content Americans actually want to watch. The documentary pulled in $7 million during its opening weekend, landing third place behind major studio films. That's called capitalism, Bernie.
Critics across social media and conservative outlets have rightfully shredded Sanders for his deranged attempt to drag the First Lady into his class warfare rhetoric. One social media user noted how "Senator Bernie Sanders has stepped into the digital crosshairs" for his inappropriate comments linking Melania Trump to the Post's business decisions.
Bernie's Real Problem: Success Under Trump
What really drives Bernie crazy isn't Bezos spending money – it's that President Trump's America First agenda is working so well that even former Trump critics like Bezos are making deals with this administration. The Washington Post's struggles have nothing to do with the First Lady and everything to do with Americans rejecting their anti-Trump propaganda.
Maybe instead of attacking successful documentaries about our First Lady, Bernie should ask why his socialist policies have never created the prosperity and opportunity that Trump delivers every single day.
When will Democrats learn that Americans are done with their petty attacks on the Trump family?
