Former Goldman Sachs CEO and Chairman Lloyd Blankfein has said Russia should back Bernie Sanders for president in order to 'best screw up the U.S.'
In a rare outburst on Twitter, Blankfein suggested that Sanders becoming the nominee would mean "the Russians will have to reconsider who to work for to best screw up the U.S."
Blankfein was CEO of Goldman from 2006 until 2018. He has contributed mostly to Democratic party candidates and endorsed Hillary Clinton in the 2016 presidential election. Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny, a long-standing critic of President Vladimir Putin, tweeted his support of Sanders after results emerged from New Hampshire.
Sanders last year unveiled a plan to reverse President Donald Trump's tax cuts and hike the corporate tax rate from 21% to 35%.
