Mike Huckabee says Sen. Bernie Sanders gave America a preview of what's in store if the Democrats take back Congress: a socialist nation.
"They'll start fundamentally transforming America into the old Soviet East Germany that Bernie apparently misses," the former Arkansas governor and two-time GOP presidential candidate said on his blog.
"During the 2016 campaign, Bernie ran on a platform of free college, expanding Social Security, 'investing' billions in green energy and providing 'Medicaid for All,' without ever explaining exactly how any of it would be paid for.
"Now, the new Democratic platform is emerging, and in addition to the predictable items (more immigration, higher taxes, etc.), there are fresh new ideas for giving away other people's money (reparations for slavery; a 'guaranteed minimum income,' or free government money every month) and Bernie's latest socialist-inspired brainstorm: guaranteed government jobs for all!"
Sanders added: "My suggestion for Republicans in answer to Bernie: We also have a program for providing every American with a job. It's called 'Electing Republicans.' And it's already working!"
