Bernie Sanders did host Chinese AI researchers for a Capitol Hill discussion on AI regulation — this is confirmed. The post conflates a policy disagreement (inviting international participants) with mental unfitness, adds an unsubstantiated claim about cognitive decline, and uses loaded language ('TDS,' 'sabotaging') to frame a legitimate policy debate as evidence of impairment. What's missing: Sanders has publicly stated the event was about comparative AI safety approaches, and Treasury Secretary Bessent's criticism focused on the policy itself, not Sanders' cognition.
