Progressive Political News

Bernie Sanders often deals with objections to his presidential aspirations from all sides of the political spectrum, those on the Right who believe Sanders wants to turn America into some kind of Communist dictatorship, Centrist Democrats who label Bernie as racist, sexist and unable to win a general election, with people from the Left who suggest that he isn't progressive enough.

Crowder has stated that "the state chose to let Alfie Evans die", which isn't the case whatsoever but that doesn't matter to people such as Steven Crowder, who has a history of lying to his audience. While Crowder pretends that the UK Government had the final say on whether or not Alfie's parents would be allowed to take him from Alder Hay Hospital in Liverpool to a hospital in Rome that had suggested it could possibly save Alfie's life, that's simply untrue.
