A few hours ago, we reported on Fox News host Mark Levin’s remarks about Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), the front-runner for the Democratic presidential nomination. On his syndicated radio show, Levin said that Sanders has “an Islamo-Nazi mentality” and “hates America,” after also suggesting that Sanders is surrounded by people who “could come out of the Third Reich.”

Citation From the February 18, 2020, edition of Premiere Radio Networks' The Mark Levin Show

MARK LEVIN (HOST): I don't make any bones about it, I am not a journalist. The difference between most journalists and me is I admit I am not a journalist. They lie. They're opinionists, a term that I've coined, and they are in the opinionism business, not the journalism business. I am an opinionist and I am in the opinionist business. It doesn't mean we don't make news, it doesn't mean we aren't interested in news, and all the rest. That's not the point. I don't live a lie as a profession. They do. They do. They know exactly where they're coming from, by giving Bernie Sanders a pass on his deep-rooted anti-Semitism and the deep-rooted anti-Semitism of a number of his top surrogate lieutenants.

...

I'm telling you the truth. And the kind of people Bernie Sanders is pulling around him could come out of the Third Reich. That's right, I said it. The way these people talk and the things that they say. Somebody has to have the guts to point it out. Somebody has to have the guts to speak out. Even though I'm condemned left and right, too damn bad.

People always say, “Why didn't anyone say anything?" Well, I'm saying it. The man leading the Democrat Party right now is embracing an Islamo-Nazi mentality when it comes to the Jewish state. He hates America. Every proposal he has is not merely to fundamentally transform one institution or another, it's to burn them down to the ground. That's Marx. That's Engels. That's Hegel. And that's Alinsky. And it's Bernie Sanders. I'll say it.

In response to our report, Levin lashed out, demanding that debate moderators follow his line of reasoning.

Levin has increased his attacks on Sanders, recently even accusing him of being racist for moving from Brooklyn to Vermont decades ago.
