188. lol@BS.."Sanders endorses Ossoff, but won't call him a progressive"
Sun Apr 23, 2017, 03:00 AM
Apr 2017

But he'll call Heath Mello, who is "aggressively anti-choice" a "progressive".

Wassup, BS! you call Mello a progressive in Nebraska but not Ossoff who is Pro Choice and had Samuel L Jackson making a campaign ad for him. Hollywood got out the VOTE for Jon Ossoff in Georgia.

Still fishy and 3 days too late.

Thanks again, Riff
