From the Washington Post:
While Sanders had said in a previous radio interview that one of his campaign workers figured out what was going on and alerted Clinton campaign officials, his 2016 campaign manager Jeff Weaver told The Post in a recent interview for the story that Sanders “misspoke a little bit and conflated a few of the facts. . . . He did not know, I did not know, none of us knew” that Russia was behind the efforts.
Many are still in denial of the basic fact that the Russian sought to aid the Sanders campaign in 2016, just as many are still in denial about them helping Trump. Later, Sanders lied about having alerted the Clinton campaign during a radio interview.
Why does Bernie get a pass on this and on the rampant sexual harassment in his 2016 campaign by his supporters? Probably for the same reason that other leaders get passes.
My suggestion is this: let’s be more generous with pass-giving to other candidates. Everyone is flawed in the Dem field, no one is as flawed as Trump.
So, while you might find Joe Biden’s behavior too gross but excuse Sanders’s 2016 campaign, or you might hate angry bosses like Klobuchar, my standard will simply be this: will our country be better off with this person or with Trump?
So, go Democrats.
