There may be another definition of 'Sandinista,' members of the socialist Nicaraguan party who deposed Anastasio Somoza in the 1979 coup--that is, a follower of Vermont's favorite son, Bernie Sanders. Tongue-in-cheek as this may sound in light of the devastating Alexandria, VA shooting that has left Representative Steve Scalise of Louisiana in critical condition, the contact was real. Sanders went out of his way to attend the Sandinista regime's sixth anniversary in the architypal banana republic.
Yet, as Congressional democrats scramble to find any link to Russia, they conveniently overlook the one that smacks of credibility--Bernie Sanders.1
