2) There's abuse that Mueller didn't mention. (Posts incoming)

Senator Bernie Sanders has accused the Center For American Progress/Think Progress of undermining Democrats’ chances of taking back the White House in 2020 by “using its resources to smear” him and other contenders pushing progressive policieshttps://t.co/utPyPAS6K8 pic.twitter.com/ZNvOkmN8IR

hypocrisy

People associated with Bernie tried to derail Biden's campaign before it started, and now Bernie is whining about smears. He also whined in 2016 about the DNC and Hillary. How can Bernie take on Trump and the GOP if he can't endure a tough primary. https://t.co/bCKq3voEAm

baffling

I have to say, picking a very public fight with an editorially-independent liberal blog over a few mildly critical pieces is a pretty baffling thing for one of the Democratic frontrunners to do. https://t.co/hoA2quDX1l

Ironic since Bernie LOST by March 15th 2016, but in May he published this on his website, smearing Hillary.

He didn't care ONE bit when he was smearing Hillary AFTER he lost in March.. but, we are not supposed to vet Bernie, he wants a coronation. pic.twitter.com/GjUs4lFtTg

Sirota hallmark

This has David Sirota written all over it.

The hallmarks:
– moronic

– false
– remarkably bad strategically

Bernie’s campaign is being run by bad actors who no other candidate would hire… for very good reasons.

get along

And the next time someone asks me “can’t we all just get along?” — ask Bernie why he keeps attacking Dems, and now progressives? And why Justice Dems (a socialist group created by TYT) has openly called for “war” with the Dem party?

We can sit back and take it, or fight back.
