Take Note Sanders' Campaign: Timing Is Everything - "Misspoke" is Disingenuous

The confession on Twitter this morning at 10:13AM of Briahna Joy Gray, the Sanders Campaign’s National Press Secretary, that she “misspoke” when she said on CNN this morning, at 7:35 AM, that Michael Bloomberg had “suffered heart attacks in the past” (note the plural) is at the very least disingenuous. If she had merely “misspoken”, then how is it that it took her nearly THREE HOURS TO MAKE A CORRECTION?

Implicit in the word “misspoke” is that it involves inadvertence. The three hour delay to take responsibility for the “error” makes any claim of inadvertence, however its framed, appear deceptive.

The Video of Ms Gray on CNN’s New Day (during John Berman’s interview at about 7:35AM this morning)

All in one day.

Yesterday Sanders did three whines. MSNBC treating him worse than fox, Not fair Bloomberg money and one other not fair.

It seems to be going three a day instead of one here or there.
