[[File:American Labor Party.jpeg|right|300px|thumb|Earl Browder twice ran against FDR for president, until FDR threw him in jail. When he got out Browder was a full throated supporter of FDR's fourth term. Browder's goal was to bring the communist movement into the [[Democratic party]]. In an ironic twist, Vladimir Putin has been accused of employing FDR's same tactic - throwing presidential challengers in jail.]]
Browder is the grandson of general secretary Earl Browder of the American Communist party, which received its funding and directives from the [[Kremlin]] to execute Soviet [[foreign policy]] between 1919 and 1988.<ref>Former [[CIA]] director [[John Brennan]] has been associated with the communist party since at least 1976.</ref> Earl Browder was the CPUSA presidential candidate in 1936 and 1940 who,<ref>[https://www.marxists.org/histgory/usa/government/elections/president/timeline.htm U.S. Presidential Elections: Leftist Votes], marxists.org</ref> like Putin's presidential opponents, was thrown in jail by [[President Franklin Roosevelt]] in 1941. When FDR made the unpopular and controversial decision to seek a fourth term, Browder was released from prison, stepped aside and made Roosevelt the candidate of the Communist Party.
