BEN SHAPIRO (HOST): So Michael Moore is a big Bernie Sanders fan. And he's out there saying that we are like the French Resistance. See it's not what Bernie is for that matters, it's what Bernie is against. Bernie is against capitalism. Bernie is against the American system. Bernie is against American history. Bernie is for a complete overthrow of the American system wholesale, and Michael Moore is totally in to it.
Here's Michael Moore characterizing Bernie Sanders' opposition as basically Nazi-esque and suggesting that Bernie Sanders is the French Resistance. Which is an amazing statement given the fact that Bernie Sanders, during World War II, if he had been a politically active man at that time, would've been on the side of the USSR, which at the beginning was, at least, on the side of the Nazis. In any case, here is -- that's not to say that Bernie Sanders is a Nazi. The point is that to characterize Bernie Sanders' opposition as Nazi-esque and Bernie as a French Resistance member is ridiculous on its face.
