He's getting worse every day...

Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders said in an interview airing Sunday that voters will need to take a "hard look" at the State Department audit criticizing Clinton for her use of a private email server, but stopped short of going after her directly for it.

"The Inspector General just came out with a report, it was not a good report for Secretary Clinton. That is something that the American people, Democrats and delegates are going to have to take a hard look at," he said. "But for me right now, I continue to focus on how we can rebuild a disappearing middle class, deal with poverty, guarantee health care to all of our people as a right."

Back in the fall, at the first Democratic debate, Sanders famously said he was "sick and tired of hearing about [her] damn emails," and it's not an issue the Vermont senator has used against Clinton on the campaign trail.

1. Will he take a hard look at Colin Powell using a yahoo email too?

That seems much worse.

Oh well.

[Zambero]

7. And Condi, et al???

We have heard Powell's admission on this. How about the others? 9/11 proceeded according to plan because the highest ranking officials in the GWB administration failed to coordinate and share incoming intelligence reports with appropriate agencies. Of course, we got Homeland Security and the so-called Patriot Act after the fact. It would be interesting to determine if a protracted dredging operation on the level of Hillary's emails was to turn up anything pointing to gross negligence on the part of those who could be held accountable for letting the county down in such egregious fashion???

17. Who knows? They might find something like a report, titled...

BIN LADEN DETERMINED TO ATTACK INSIDE THE U.S.
...or something else like that.

But BS has joined the pukes in just pretending that Clinton is either incompetent or evil. Never thought I would see something like this. Truly heavy sigh.

[SaschaHM]

2. I hope this...

quiets down all the Sanders apologists who think he's a good man caught up in a desperate campaign.

[Zambero]

3. So he does give a damn after all?!

Politics as usual. Bernie was at his best sticking to issues that matter. But whenever blood is in the water, sharks will invariably embark on a feeding frenzy.

[BlueMTexpat]

4. I am so glad that I will

NEVER have to face a choice between Bernie and Trump.

I have come to loathe Bernie so much these days and cannot wait to see him consigned to the ash heap of history.

[sarae]

5. Agreed.

It's interesting that he's chosen this moment to start highlighting her email controversy, when his own investigations are starting to come to light (Burlington College, FEC violations).

[BlueMTexpat]

9. Love the karma!

[Her Sister]

6. What a relevant relevant opinion!

MUCHO RELEVANT!

[fleabiscuit]

8. Everyone would like to look hard at your tax returns Senator. eom

[SharonClark]

29. Bingo!

[LiberalFighter]

10. How much of the report did he read?

Probably not much. If he spent more time reading instead of wanting to take up the air he might learn something. Everything that Sanders has done has been to the detriment of the Democratic Party.

[BobbyDrake]

11. Based on his history? Probably just the headline... nt

[LiberalFighter]

12. Just so you know. I edited my comment a bit.

[BobbyDrake]

14. This is the WaPo "unqualified" fiasco all over again. What he knows of the report he was told about.

That's my overall point. I don't take him seriously any more; this is all just the theatrics of a sore loser.

[brer cat]

15. I agree.

Welcome to DU and the Hillary Clinton Group!

[SharonClark]

30. Weaver probably interpreted the report for Sanders

[ismnotwasm]

13. Because that hasn't happened already..

Oh wait, It has! Months and months of it! Thousands of emails released! Exposure that the State department was stuck in electronic 1998! Emails Retroactivly classified! She held back 15 emails dammit. Clearly a nerfrious plotter to rule the world through her blackberry.


Listening to Sanders and his "American people" phrase is like crewing on tinfoil with a mouth full of fillings.

[brer cat]

16. +1000 nt

[TwilightZone]

26. "the State department was stuck in electronic 1998"

That sums up the whole thing in eight words.

[Fla Dem]

18. Let's take a hard look at your tax returns Bernie, or Jane's fraudulent loan that bankrupted

Burlington College.

[sarae]

19. Exactly.

What's good for the goose is good for the gander.

[Walk away]

22. We can't even take a hard look at Jane because she has gone into hiding with her Fraud & Taxes!

Poor Bernie. Nobody gives a shit about the email report except Rethugs. But then what does that make Bernie????

[savalez]

20. Voters should also take a hard look at this:

[wysi]

21. Not to mention rape fantasy porn...

... and that commie thing, oh and being a no-job-having loser until age 40. If it's going to be all out on the table, let's have it all out on the table then.

[sarae]

27. Great graphic

Nice to have it all in one place, thanks!

[Nonhlanhla]

23. This makes me angry

He can no longer win, and he damn well knows it. We're now at a stage in the primary where he should have been supporting her, acting as a surrogate for her, not playing the Republicans' game by aiding the attacks on her.

Ugh.

[Cha]

24. Yeah, there's nothing there.

What's he whining about now?

thank you, sarae~

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

25. Feel the desperation

[Tarheel_Dem]

28. So St. Bernard is just another garden variety "politican" afterall? Who could've guessed? n/t
