Socialist Amish Shah told a whopper of a lie during last night’s debate: “I never campaigned for Bernie Sanders.”

False. Video shows Shah campaigning for socialist Bernie Sanders for President at a “Arizona for Bernie 2020” event and website hosted by the Phoenix Democrat Socialists of America.

VIDEO: Shah in his own words about socialist Bernie Sanders:

• “…single payer healthcare, and that was one of the first things that drew me to Bernie Sanders’ candidacy in the last election cycle.”
• “He also had the economic security argument really nailed. For those of us who have just watched the the gap between rich and poor grow to the point where those in power have the control as well and and that’s, that’s the problem.”
• “Finally, I just want to say about Bernie, there was an authenticity about him that I think so many of us were drawn to. He was coming at it from with his heart and and that’s what drew me to that campaign.”
• “The message is is growing. It’s getting louder. What’s, what’s amazing is that this wasn’t really part of the conversation before Bernie came around and and this has now become a a national platform and he’s taken the Democrat Party and in my opinion improved our platform. So, thank you all again. Keep uh, keep up the great work.”

“The video doesn’t lie, but Socialist Amish Shah does. Now that campaigning for socialist Bernie Sanders is a political albatross for his eight-year quest for political office, Socialist Shah turned to desperately denying reality.” – NRCC Spokesperson Ben Petersen
