He's saying that the US betrayed its values and fought an oil war after 9/11. That's hardly controversial. In fact, it's what Trump said in the 2016 primary.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:

these are the folks who weren't qualified to work in a Trump Administration and couldn't make the cut.

I've heard of low bars before but Bernie musta borrowed a backhoe to dig a hole for his.
