(Charleston, SC)—Holding in his trembling right hand what appeared to be a typical Valentine’s Day greeting card, Bernie Sanders was seen fighting back tears today while out on the campaign trail. When a reporter asked Senator Sanders who sent the card, he sputtered through clenched teeth and a quivering upper lip, “Hillary… Hillary sent the card.”
Puzzled, the reporter later picked up the mangled Valentine’s greeting that Sen. Sanders had crumbled and tossed onto the floor as he stormed out of the event. Opening it, the reporter read aloud the verse inside to a crowd of media that had gathered around the scene.
“Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
You’re a grumpy old socialist, Bernie,
And no one likes you!”

Now, aren’t you glad that Hillary Rodham Clinton is NOT our President, after showing her true character, by writing such a hurtful Valentine’s card to a 78 year old political constituent, so as to make him cry!!!
I don’t think HRC sent it! Get card and envelope take to FBI.
