Judge Judy tees off on Sanders: Revolution ‘a joke’ and ‘fiscally impossible’

Judge Judy Sheindlin went off on Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) on Tuesday, calling the 2020 White House hopeful and democratic socialist’s “revolution” a “joke because it’s fiscally impossible.”

“Senator Sanders’s revolution is not what this country needs. It’s a revolution that, A, is a joke, because it is fiscally impossible, and, B, wherever it has been tried on a large scale it’s failed,” Sheindlin, who has endorsed former New York City Mayor Mike Bloomberg in the Democratic presidential primary, told anchor Stephanie Ruhle on MSNBC.

“So it’s really a joke to think that you can fool the American public when you’ve been in Congress for as many years, as Bernie Sanders has been in Congress, who I think had either three or four bills passed in the 30 years that he has been in Congress, and two of them were to name post offices,” she added.

Sanders is poised to win delegate-rich states including California and Texas on Super Tuesday, with former Vice President Joe Biden showing some momentum after a decisive win in South Carolina while earning the endorsements of Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) and former South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg, who both ended their campaigns.

Sheindlin on MSNBC also argued that Biden is a “nice guy,” but not the kind of street fighter needed to defeat President Trump. She warned that Biden may not perform well in general election debates against Trump because his Democratic opponents have treated the vice president with “kid gloves” to this point.

“Joe Biden is a nice guy. I have nothing bad to say about him,” the longtime TV judge said. “But I guarantee you that the incumbent, if he gets on the stage with Joe Biden, is going to bring up all the things that the other Democratic candidates at debates did not because the one thing the incumbent is, is a street fighter.

“I believe in my soul Joe Biden cannot meet that street fighter on stage because we know everything there is to know about the incumbent,” she continued. “He’s been through three years of colonoscopy. We don’t know everything about Joe Biden, that’s because he has been sort of treated by kid gloves with his opponents. That’s going to change and dramatically.”

Sheindlin endorsed Bloomberg in January.

“When I looked at the field of 2020 candidates … there was no other voice, for me, other than the voice of someone who has experience in governance second only to the president of the United States,” she told “The View” on Jan. 6.

The 77-year-old retired prosecutor recently announced that her highly rated syndicated show would end its run after 25 seasons.

“I’ve had a 25-year-long marriage with CBS, and it’s been successful,” Sheindlin told Ellen DeGeneres on Monday. “Next year will be our 25th season, silver anniversary, and CBS, I think, sort of felt, they wanted to optimally utilize the repeats of my program, because now they have 25 years of reruns. So what they decided to do was to sell a couple of years’ worth of reruns.”

She also told DeGeneres she is not retiring, but instead working on a new show titled “Judy Justice.”
