On February 3, 2026, Kaitlan Collins once again brought on Bernie Sanders—a self-described socialist who has spent 35 years living off taxpayers in Congress and became a millionaire while in office—to trash Donald Trump over his wealth, his calls for election integrity, and to once again repeat the January 6 “insurrection” narrative.
Sanders caucuses with Democrats, votes with them the vast majority of the time, and only pretends to be an “independent” when it’s politically convenient.
Sanders laughed, lied, and mocked Trump.
He began with:
“I was thinking about this guy on the phone after the 2020 election talking to the secretary of state in Georgia and saying to him, all I need get me 11,000, whatever is votes that I could win Georgia.”
This is deliberately misleading. Trump was not asking Georgia officials to create votes. He was saying that if fraudulent or illegal votes were identified, the margin could be overturned. In other words, he believed cheating had already occurred and wanted it investigated. That is not the same thing as asking someone to cheat.
Sanders then claimed:
“This is Mr. Honesty and Mr. Integrity who provoked an insurrection on January 6th, uh, so that the election would be overturned.”
How many times have you heard this Democrat talking point since January 6, 2021? It is not true. Trump did not tell anyone to storm the Capitol—he repeatedly told supporters to protest peacefully and patriotically. I wish people would stop believing everything left-wing politicians say, stop trusting the system blindly, and do their own research.
On January 6, 2021, President Trump was still in office—Biden wasn’t inaugurated until January 20. The so-called insurrection was against President Trump.
In the 2020 election, Democrats engaged in widespread cheating nationwide, but the media ignored the evidence and dismissed it as a conspiracy.
January 6 was a setup. It was a staged operation involving the corrupt FBI, along with plainclothes officers from the Metropolitan Police Department, activist groups, paid agitators, and complicit elements within D.C. law enforcement. The goal was to create chaos and violence, frame Trump and his supporters, distract from Democrats’ election fraud, and construct a false “insurrection” narrative.
The real insurrection was against Trump—by those same Deep State actors, Democrat politicians, and Democrat-aligned forces—who stole the 2020 election from us.
Sanders also mocked Trump’s comments about federal involvement in elections and said:
“The idea that anyone would trust for one minute this guy running an honest election would be beyond comprehensive.”
But Trump’s actual point was that elections must be conducted legally and honestly. He said:
“They can administer the election, but they have to do it honestly.”
Trump was not saying the federal government should seize control of elections. He was saying that if elections are not honest, the federal government has a duty to step in. That is not authoritarian. That is enforcing the law.
Sanders then sneered:
“I think every, every place he listed, those are states he lost in 2020. What a shock.”
Of course Trump focused on the states he lost. Those were the states where the results mattered and where there were numerous irregularities. You investigate close races where problems are reported.
Sanders went on to call Trump a demagogue and authoritarian and claimed his goal was power and wealth, saying:
“And since he has been president, my understanding is his family fortune has increased by four billion dollars. His oligarch friends billionaires have made an additional trillion dollars.”
Donald Trump’s net worth declined by one billion dollars his first term due to lawsuits and political attacks on his businesses. He does not even take a salary as president. Meanwhile, Bernie Sanders, a self-described socialist, became a millionaire while serving in government. It is ironic for Sanders to attack wealth in office while personally becoming rich in office. Trump does not need political office to get rich — but Sanders does. He mentions his “oligarch friends” have made an additional trillion dollars without naming one or like they aren’t allowed to make money while Bernie keeps cashing his taxpayer funded checks.
Throughout this exchange, Sanders laughed about the idea of honest elections, and Collins smirked along with him. Instead of treating election integrity as a serious issue, they treated it as a joke.
Sanders has been in Congress since 1991. He is a career politician. Yet CNN keeps bringing him on as if he represents something new or insightful. He does not. He represents the same Democrat narrative Collins platforms every show.
Trump said elections should be honest. Sanders twisted that into authoritarianism.
Trump said fraud should be investigated. Sanders turned that into insurrection.
Trump lost money in office. Sanders became rich preaching socialism.
And Kaitlan Collins keeps inviting him on to repeat these claims without challenge. That is not journalism. It is political messaging. Fake news indeed.
Collins should rename her show: “No Sources, Just Democrat Propaganda.”
