Politico: Sanders surrogate: Rosario Dawson comments 'not helpful'

Someone is not pleased.

Sanders surrogate: Rosario Dawson comments 'not helpful'

Bernie Sanders' lone Senate endorser on Monday rejected the notion that the recent comments made by one of the candidate's celebrity surrogates represents more than an isolated, inflammatory incident.

"No. This is individuals going off track on their own," Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.) said in an interview with CNN's "New Day," addressing actress Rosario Dawson's invocation of Monica Lewinsky against bullying while introducing Sanders over the weekend in Delaware.

Hillary Clinton. Someone does not have any control on messaging on that side OR it could be that's exactly what they're expected to do.

Remember, the Green Party has NO love for the Democratic Party, either. It's that angry that had me turn away from the Greens.

I was a bit taken aback at first. My impression is he is trying to keep things from imploding within the party. Have to have some adults there. My fur is settling back down.

The closer we get to the end, the farther it gets from the rails. He has neither the temperament or the will to control his surrogates.
