The Bernie Sanders campaign is now being accused of suppression for issuing a cease and desist letter to Liberty Maniacs, an “independent brand” that sells political satire apparel and merchandise, after the retailer began selling merchandise showing Sanders with communist dictators.

In the cease and desist letter sent on April 14, Sanders campaign lawyer Claire Hawkins demanded Liberty Maniac’s Daniel McCall stop selling and “destroy and/or take offline” items that use Sanders’ “Official Logos” within five days.

The apparently offensive “Bernie Is My Comrade” merchandise shows Sanders stylized as a communist leader alongside Karl Marx, Friedrich Engels, Vladimir Lenin, Joseph Stalin, and Mao Zedong.

The word “Bernie” appears to be similar to the Sanders’ 2016 “Bernie” logo, but the “i” is modeled after the communist red star.
