The Bernie Sanders campaign sent information to voters that included propaganda imagery from Italian dictator Benito Mussolini’s National Fascist Party.
A man pictured in the Sanders campaign leaflet sent to Nevada voters by mail ahead of the state’s Feb. 22 Democratic caucuses wears a black shirt with white lettering saying, “SI SI SI” (translating to “YES YES YES”), and a white face under his tan suit jacket. The image is a recreation of propaganda that pictured a large Mussolini stone face on the facade of the National Fascist Party headquarters in Rome, the Palazzo Braschi.
