Bernie Supporter Jonathan Tasini: "The WAPO Essentially Called The Clinton Campaign a LIAR.."




Jonathan Tasini: "..Jake, I'm holding in my hand a card, which is my Union card. I'm a member of the United Auto Workers. I've been a member of the United Auto Workers for 25 years. And I would NOT support a candidate that was not a solid UAW supporter that was high behind workers all the way. Bernie Sanders was FOR the auto bailout and the way you described it was actually correct. And the Washington Post essentially called the Clinton campaign 'a LIAR or at least, misrepresenting things'. "It seems like she's even willing to take the gamble that FactCheckers may call her out for her tactics Sunday, but the voters won't.."

And the reason they're making this emphasis Jake is because she has supported BAD TRADE AGREEMENTS.....NAFTA and all other trade agreements that has destroyed the lives of working people, auto workers in Michigan Ohio for many, many years.."

Campaign Commercial: Bernie Sanders did not support Detroit autoworkers during the crash of 2008. I approve this message...

What is true is Bernie did not support bailing out the Banksters who stole trillions of dollars.

Going from memory: Talked about when President Obama needed help for Detroit and auto industry -- nothing about Banksters or Wall Street bailout -- one candidate voted for help , HRC (SOUND BITE)...who approved this message.

Heard the commercial at least ten times today - sports and music radio Detroit to Lansing.

It didn't get thru the Senate.

So Dubya attached it to the wall street bailout and that is what Bernie voted against.

So when she says Bernie voted against it, she is only telling a teensy weensy part of the story.

... assuming the deal was as described, where the auto industry bailout was rolled into the Wall Street bailout.

I can only imagine how incredibly conflicted Bernie was. And I can see how his anger at the banksters would override his desire to help the auto industry.

Bill Clinton rammed NAFTA & deregulation of banking through Congress and Hillary lobbied Congress for them. Thee two issues largely destroyed the Auto Industry and Michigan's economy.

The automobile industry was in trouble way before NAFTA. Things like the Arab Oil Embargo and lack of fuel efficiency set the industry into a tailspin back in the 1970s.

There will be enough people in Michigan who will know that she lied about this, that he's still going to do far better tomorrow than they expect.

And afterwards, with Bernie explaining very carefully how he voted, more and more people will learn the truth and more and more of them will turn away from Hillary in disgust.
