Bernie Sanders is earning his fair share of media attention as the current #2 Democrat in the presidential nomination race.
He’s also attracting his fair share of criticism. Conservative actor James Woods became the latest high-profile person to criticize Sanders.
One of the talking points of Sanders’ campaign so far (besides raising taxes on a bunch of Americans to pay for more social programs) has been mandatory, paid maternity leave for all full-time jobs.
Sanders sent out this tweet to highlight his stance on mandatory maternity leave for businesses in the United States. He did so by comparing the US to China.
China – not exactly seen as a model when it comes to human rights – provides 14 weeks of paid maternity leave. The US provides zero.

China has notoriously killed female infants for population control, you utter moron. #ChinaGendercide https://t.co/GBNSaNNJaC — James Woods (@RealJamesWoods) October 19, 2015
Ouch. Can someone get Sanders some ointment for that burn? Woods’ response to Sanders was so good, check out more responses from common sense Americans who weighed in:
@RealJamesWoods Wonder how he’d analyze “Uncle Joe” Stalin? Hate to say that, but…sigh.

@RealJamesWoods @SenSanders You just can’t make this up! Sanders using China as model for Human Rights?!? — Feisty☀️Floridian (@peddoc63) October 19, 2015
@RealJamesWoods I don’t know what planet he lives on, the company I worked for not only provided it for women, but the father’s as well.

@RealJamesWoods Bernie Sanders doesn’t even know about laws that he championed, such as FMLA. Employers provide maternity leave, not Govt. — Tom Kovach (@TKovachNashvil) October 19, 2015
@RealJamesWoods the only morons are the ones that vote for these lying bastards plunging the world into chaos

@RealJamesWoods Doesn’t that Sanders just “Bern” you up with his stupid comments. — Homegrown Patriot (@MaxTollensJr) October 19, 2015
What do you think about this public social media flogging of Bernie Sanders? When will liberals ever learn? Just use common sense and things will be so much better.
