On Saturday, radical Leftist “squad” member Rashida Tlaib tweeted that she will not be voting for the Democrat National Committee (DNC) platform, since it includes support for a public option for health care but not a single-payer “Medicare for All” program.
Tlaib also voted to nominate Bernie Sanders, whom she had endorsed during the primaries, for the Democrat presidential nomination.
The anti-Semitic congresswoman tweeted:
“Today, I cast my DNC ballot and voted NO on the proposed platform. I constantly hear from constituents demanding we push for a single-payer system and away from this for-profit system that is leaving people to suffer and die just because they cannot afford health care.
“As a party, we must push for a future where every resident has the ability to thrive. That means we need a platform that works to rid our society of oppression and greed. Unfortunately, in my view this platform does not do enough.”

What makes this even more interesting is that Bernie himself has endorsed Joe Biden for president, and has been supporting Biden ever since he suspended his presidential campaign.
So it will be fun to watch the Bernie revolution eat itself.
