Sanders has made some very hostile remarks towards Christians lately, so that earned him a spot in a satire piece!

Bernie Sanders has demonstrated some extreme hostility towards people up for government jobs on the basis of their Christianity. Given the general hostility towards Christians in the previous regime and the "progressives" in general, it seems to the Babylon Bee it was a topic for satire which can be "the use of ridicule to expose and criticize people's stupidity or vices, particularly in the context of contemporary politics and other topical issues." It seems that the writer of the piece was suggesting a comparison between yellow Stars of David and making Christianity an offense requiring wearing some visible designation of religion. The "progressive left", even though many Christians seem to support it, is very hostile towards Christians including even demanding that beliefs must be changed to match the demands of the leftists.
