Bernie Sanders: 'The difference between Trump and me is he lies'

Bernie is pro-Russia, anti-immigration, anti-trade agreement, pro-tariff and wants to immediately recall troops, but as Bernie explains, "‘The difference between Trump and me is he lies.'"

Sen. Bernie Sanders has pledged to end “ endless wars” — but on Sunday, the presidential hopeful was quick to put distance between his vision for American foreign policy and President Donald Trump’s decision to withdraw U.S. troops from Syria.

“The difference between Trump and me is he lies. I don’t,” the 2020 Democratic presidential candidate from Vermont said on ABC's "This Week with George Stephanopoulos." “You don’t turn your back on an ally that lost 11,000 troops fighting against terrorism through a tweet and a discussion with [Turkish President Recep Tayyip] Erdogan."

A week ago, after a call with Erdogan, Trump abruptly announced he would withdraw U.S. troops from northeastern Syria. Prominent lawmakers on both sides of the aisle publicly disagreed with the decision, which allows Turkey to invade the area and hurt U.S.-allied Kurdish fighters who have been on the front line of the battle against ISIS.

On Wednesday, Turkey began the assault lawmakers feared, bombarding Kurdish forces and causing the White House to threaten sanctions.

I don't think so, their position is pretty clear. As for another pro Russia candidate, didn't they help him enough already?
